System of a Down & Faith No More 2027 Australia‑NZ Tour

Entities: Faith No More · Accor Stadium · Marvell Stadium · System of a Down · Accor Stadium (Sydney)

Overview

Coordinated light‑projection displays in late July 2026 hinted at a joint Australian‑New Zealand stadium tour for System of a Down and Faith No More. Two days later the bands confirmed a four‑date run: 22 January at Accor Stadium (Sydney), 27 January at Marvel Stadium (Melbourne), 1 February at Suncorp Stadium (Brisbane) and 7 February at HNRY Stadium (Wellington).

Ticket sales open to the public on 31 July 2026 with staggered start times (10 a.m. Sydney, 11 a.m. Melbourne and Wellington, 12 p.m. Brisbane). An artist‑only presale begins 28 July, followed by a PayPal First Access presale on 29 July. The tour, promoted by TEG Live, is billed as one of the biggest live‑music events in Australian and New Zealand history and marks System of a Down’s first Australian shows since 2012 and Faith No More’s first Australian‑NZ dates since 2015.

Promotional murals featuring System of a Down’s hand symbol appeared in Melbourne and Sydney on 24 July, while Faith No More’s logo was projected onto a Brisbane venue the same night, reinforcing the visual campaign. Drummer John Dolmayan reflected on the band’s recent European stadium circuit, noting two Warsaw shows that drew up to 50 000 fans each, underscoring the growing scale of their live‑event ambitions.
