SOAD and FNM Announce First ANZ Tour in a Decade

Get ready to turn up the volume, because two titans of alternative rock are back on the road for a massive stadium run across Australia and New Zealand in 2027. System of a Down and Faith No More are set to reunite in spectacular fashion, promising an unforgettable experience for fans across the continent.

This monumental tour isn’t just a concert series; it’s a cultural event marking a significant return for these influential bands. The journey will take place over January and February 2027, hitting major venues from Sydney to Wellington, ensuring that rock history gets an epic encore.

The anticipation has been building for weeks, punctuated by striking visual teasers across the region. Murals featuring System of a Down’s iconic hand symbol appeared in Melbourne and Sydney on Friday, July 24th, while light projections showcasing Faith No More’s logo lit up Brisbane that same evening, setting the stage for an explosive reveal.

The schedule is packed with high-energy performances across four major markets: Sydney’s Accor Stadium on January 22nd, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on January 27th, Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on February 1st, and Wellington’s Hnry Stadium on February 7th.

For fans who have followed their careers, this reunion carries a special weight. System of a Down is marking their first Australian dates since 2012, following a successful run across Europe and the U.K., where they headlined major festivals and celebrated commercial success with companion albums like Mezmerize and Hypnotize, both hitting number one on the Billboard 200.

Faith No More, led by the inimitable Mike Patton, arrived in the rock landscape in 1989 with a sound that pioneered rap-rock fusion. From their platinum album The Real Thing to their more recent work like Sol Invictus, their legacy is built on boundary-pushing creativity.

This upcoming tour brings together two groups whose influence has fundamentally shaped modern alternative music. Whether you are a longtime fan of the innovative sound of System of a Down or the pioneering energy of Faith No More, these dates represent a rare chance to witness rock history live in a massive, unforgettable setting.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, July 31st, with staggered start times across all four markets. Early birds can grab access through a PayPal First Access presale starting July 29th, followed by an artist presale for mailing-list subscribers on July 28th. All ticketing will be handled through TEG Live.
