System of a Down is about to hit the road with their Wake Up! Tour in just a couple of months, and they’re not pulling any punches. After the band announced that they will tour in North America and the tickets quickly sold out (which made them add one night for each show), the band posted on social media – “Wake up, South America! We did. We heard you. We’re coming,” finally answering the prayers of Latin American fans who’ve been waiting years to see them live.

The Latin American journey kicks off with what promises to be an explosive night at Bogotá’s Estadio El Campin on April 24. From there, they’ll tear through some of South America’s most iconic venues: Lima’s Estadio Nacional, Santiago’s Parque Estadio Nacional, and Buenos Aires’ legendary Estadio Velez Sarsfield. The Brazilian leg is particularly massive, with shows at Curitiba’s Estadio Couto Pereira, Rio’s Estadio Nilton Santos, before the grand finale at São Paulo’s Allianz Parque on May 10.
But North America’s getting its own slice of chaos too, and the supporting lineup is nothing short of incredible. MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford will host a dream pairing with Korn on August 27 – imagine the energy when both bands are firing on all cylinders. Chicago’s Soldier Field gets Avenged Sevenfold on September 1, promising a night of technical brilliance and raw power.
The crown jewel might be their historic two-night stand at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium with Deftones on September 5. The band also added Polyphia and Wisp as openers for all North American shows.
The schedule’s carefully crafted to align with Serj Tankian’s touring preferences, focusing on select, high-impact shows rather than grueling months on the road. It’s a smart move that ensures fans get the full System experience – the political fury, the technical precision, the raw energy that made them legends – without the band burning out.
Now if you are wondering about the tour’s setlist, well, anything can be expected, but definitely some classics like Chop Suey! and Toxicity.
With concerts scheduled for the Americas, the rest of the World still wonders, when System of a Down is coming, and the good news is that there’s a good chance that the metal band might go to Europe and Asia as well. For now, let’s wait and see!
