System of a Down and Queen of the Stone Age at the Stade de France

The Stade de France will host System of a Down and Queen of the Stone Age on July 2, 2026. Acid Bath will be the opening act.

Founded in 1994 in California, System of a Down revolutionized alternative metal with its explosive blend of hard-hitting riffs, complex rhythms, and powerful political lyrics.

Their cult classic album *Toxicity* (2001), driven by tracks like ?Chop Suey!,? catapulted them to the ranks of metal giants, leaving an indelible mark on an entire generation. Considered one of the best albums of the^21st century, it remains an absolute benchmark.

On stage, SOAD is a force to be reckoned with: their concerts?whether as a headliner or alongside legends like Deftones, Radiohead, or Ozzy Osbourne?are renowned for their wild energy and musical mastery. Their latest live performance? A ?sick? show, hailed by critics, with the audience in a total trance. Still active despite occasional hiatuses, the band continues to electrify stages around the world.

The band will be joined by another must-see act in the metal scene: Queen of the Stone Age, a cult stoner rock band.

Please note: There will be no RER D service after the concert. Please take Metro Line 14 for your return trip (Metro Line 13 and RER B will be overcrowded).? Guidance provided by the Ile-de-France Mobilité website.
