Following massive sell-out stadium runs across Europe and the UK, System Of A Down are bringing their ferocious live setup to Aotearoa. With over 42 million albums sold globally and seminal anthems like "Toxicity" and "Chop Suey!" embedded in rock history, seeing the four-piece live is equal parts chaos, catharsis, and pure energy. Local fans can expect an enormous set spanning three decades of heavy music.

Joining them are the legendary Faith No More, whose genre-defying mix of alternative rock, metal, and funk reshaped heavy music forever. With iconic tracks like "Epic" and "Midlife Crisis," having both powerhouse acts share a stage in Wellington makes this a historic live event for New Zealand rock fans.

This exclusive show is supported by the Government's Events Attraction Package and WellingtonNZ, bringing music lovers from across the country into the capital over Waitangi weekend. Whether you are headbanging in the pit or grabbing a beer down Cuba Street the next day, it is set to be a massive long weekend.

General tickets go live on Friday 31 July at 11am NZST. Rally the crew and set your alarms, because an iconic lineup like this will sell out fast.
