They’re Trying to Build a Tour Plan… Could System of a Down Be Coming to Europe & U.K.?

Over the last couple of weeks, System of a Down‘s been playing a handful of shows across the U.S. The smattering of dates are limited, but they’ve proven one thing above all else — poeple want to see System of a Down in 2025. So with this current run being sold out, it only makes sens that they may want to start planning even more tour dates.

Prior to this latest run of shows, System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian said the band’s sole shows were a way they were “testing the waters” for potential future touring plans. Well, if some of the apparent hints showing up across London last night are any indication, it seems like there may be some more tour plans coming up in the near future.

Some of the locations teased in London include Curtain Road, Bermondsey Street and Upper Ground. As an American, I have no idea what that means and I’m too lazy at the moment to Google it. Maybe some of you Brits can tell us in the coments.

Still, it would be pretty cool to see System in the “old country”, since that hasn’t happened since 2017’s Download Festival.

Either way, if this were to happen, it will likely be similar to the run in the U.S. — just a short few dates in big stadiums, instead of long ass tours. That’s something frontman Serj Tankian has said in the past just wasn’t in the cards anymore.

“I love performing, but especially the long [tours]… I think when you do a long tour, it’s not just physically exhausting, but it’s artistically redundant after a while, repeating the same thing. That’s why we’re really enjoying doing these one-offs. They’re special events, special occasions. We can’t do them everywhere. We can’t do them all the time. But performing becomes fun again in a way. And I had kind of lost that.

“And not just because of that reason, but I also had some back problems, back surgery and things that were hindering me from performing. I’m much better now. I exercise better, all of that stuff, so a lot of that’s been worked out. As far as touring somewhere in the near future? Possibly, I would say. I mean, I’m open to looking at stuff, but not thrilled about doing long tours at all, anywhere, just one-offs, or maybe a handful of one-offs with dates in between, personally.”

So yeah, Europe and U.K. Maybe get excited that SOAD could be back in your neck of the woods soon enough.
