System of a Down to Headline Massive ‘One Night Only’ Concert in Rio de Janeiro
The band will be joined for the single-day event by Faith No More as special guests.
System of a Down is set to headline a monumental "One Night Only" concert in Rio de Janeiro on January 15, 2027. The event, which will be held at the iconic Maracanã Stadium, marks the metal group's return to Brazil after a decade-long absence. Joining the performance will be special guest Faith No More, bringing a unique blend of alt-metal to the stage.
The announcement comes after the band's successful European and UK tour, as well as their headline performance at the prestigious Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas in April. Faith No More's last visit to Australia was in 2015, supporting the Soundwave festival. For the Grammy-winning band, this performance holds special significance, as they previously headlined Rock in Rio in 2015 and performed five stadium shows in São Paulo last year during their "Wake Up!
South America Stadium Tour." The band released their fifth and most recent studio album, Hypnotize, in 2005. Hypnotize, part of a double-album concept following 2005's Mezmerize, became the band's last full-length album, both projects reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200. System of a Down will begin presale ticket sales for the One Night Only concert on Tuesday, August 18, at 10 a.m., with first access granted to fans who sign up for their email list. General ticket sales will commence on Friday, August 21, at noon.
