System Of A Down is set to headline the rejoicing return of the Sick New World festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, scheduled for April 25, 2026. The festival took a break in 2025, following a disappointing turnout in ticket sales that couldn’t meet the high artist fees demanded by major acts like Metallica and Linkin Park, each requesting $5 million for performances. However, the event enjoyed success in its previous editions in 2023 and 2024, and the anticipation is building for its comeback.
Before descending upon Las Vegas, System Of A Down will embark on an extensive European tour beginning on June 29, 2026, at Stockholm’s Strawberry Arena. The tour promises multiple shows across several major cities, with stops in Paris, London, and Warsaw, where they will host double shows, generating excitement among fans. Joining the band on this European trek will be fellow performers Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath. Most tickets for the tour have already sold out, with the final night in Warsaw on July 19 still offering some availability.
The full schedule of their European tour includes performances in:
– June 29 – Stockholm, Sweden – Strawberry Arena
– July 2-4 – Paris, France – Stade De France
– July 6 – Milan, Italy – Ippodromo SNAI La Maura
– July 8 – Berlin, Germany – Olympiastadion

This reunion of System Of A Down and the Sick New World festival marks a promising moment for fans of rock music, signaling a vibrant live music scene returning after recent challenges.
