The rumours are true! System Of A Down and Faith No More are heading to Australia in 2027!

The announcement follows the two bands' recent EU and UK summer stadium tour and marks System Of A Down's first shows in Australia since they headlined Soundwave in 2012, while Faith No More were last in the country as part of Soundwave 2015.

Both groups have been influential over the journey and are revered for their authentic live shows.

SOAD and Faith No More have announced a joint stadium tour kicking off at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Friday 22 January, followed by a concert at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Wednesday 27 January, before finishing up at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Monday 1 February.

PayPal First Access Presale starts 29 July here, with an account required to purchase. It follows the Artist Presale, which begins 28 July for those opted into the SOAD and FNM mailing lists.

General tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday 31 July 2026 at 10am AEST (Sydney), 11am (Melbourne), and 12pm (Brisbane) via teglive.com.au.

Breaking out in 1998 with their self-titled debut album, it was SOAD's 2001 follow-up Toxicity that turned them into global superstars. The album sold over 42 million copies worldwide and spawned crowd favourites 'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity' and 'Aerials'.

SOAD have gone on to release a total of five studio albums. While they've only released several new tracks over the past 20 years and performed irregularly, they remain one of heavy music's most electrifying live acts.

Faith No More are heavy alternative kings whose genre-blending experimental sound has resulted in seven studio albums, millions of records sold and classic hits including 'Epic', 'Midlife Crisis' and 'Easy'.

Catch System Of A Down and Faith No More performing in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in January and February 2027. Ticketing information is available at teglive.com.au.
