System of a Down and Faith No More Announce First Australian and New Zealand Tour in Over a Decade
System of a Down and Faith No More will return to Australia and New Zealand in early 2027. This tour marks the first time System of a Down has performed in Australia since 2012. The two legendary bands will play four stadium dates across the region starting in late January.
The tour schedule begins on January 22 at Accor Stadium in Sydney. From there, the acts move to Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on January 27, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on February 1, and conclude at Hnry Stadium in Wellington on February 7.
Fans identified the tour through promotional activity across several cities. Murals featuring System of a Down symbols appeared in Melbourne and Sydney, while light projections of the Faith No More logo surfaced in Brisbane. These efforts preceded the official announcement of the January and February concert dates.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, July 31. Fans interested in early access can utilize a PayPal presale starting July 29 or an artist mailing-list presale on July 28. TEG Live is the ticketing partner for these performances.
System of a Down maintains a massive commercial presence despite not releasing a studio album since 2005. Faith No More continues to influence the alternative-metal scene, having reunited for touring and select releases following their own lengthy hiatus. This combined tour represents one of the significant rock events for the upcoming year.
