The Stade de France welcomes System of a Down and Queen of the Stone Age on July 2, 2026. The opening act will be Acid Bath.
Founded in California in 1994, System Of A Down revolutionized alternative metal with their explosive mix of hard-hitting riffs, complex rhythms and hard-hitting political lyrics.
Their cult album Toxicity (2001), with tracks like Chop Suey!, catapulted them into the ranks of metal giants, marking a whole generation. Considered one of the best albums of the 21st century, it remains an absolute reference.
On stage, SOAD are a war machine: their solo concerts, or alongside legends such as Deftones, Radiohead or Ozzy Osbourne, are renowned for their insane energy and musical mastery. Their latest live show? A critically acclaimed "sick" show, with an audience in total trance. Still active despite a few breaks, the band continues to electrify stages the world over.
The band will be joined by another must-see metal act: Queen of the Stone Age, the cult stoner band.
Pre-sale at Stade de France on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at 12 noon and on sale to the general public on Friday, September 19, 2025 at 12 noon.
