System of a Down confirmed their highly anticipated return to Mexico City with a concert scheduled for May 27 at the GNP Seguros Stadium, one of the largest and most modern venues in the country. The performance marks the band's return to Mexico after years of absence and is shaping up to be one of the most important events on the international rock calendar for 2024.
The announcement also revealed that IDLES, one of the most influential bands in the contemporary post-punk scene, will be the supporting act. Their addition adds further appeal to the lineup, combining two powerful acts that have redefined alternative rock across different eras and generations.
The band, comprised of Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian, and John Dolmayan, has maintained a selective presence on global stages. Each of their performances becomes an event for their fans, especially due to the political, emotional, and sonic intensity that characterizes their repertoire. The concert in Mexico City promises a journey through their discography, featuring iconic songs that have defined a generation.
The event will be produced by OCESA and will feature large-scale audiovisual infrastructure. The choice of the GNP Seguros Stadium suggests a monumental production, designed to accommodate tens of thousands of attendees and offer an immersive visual and auditory experience.
The presale for the concert will begin on December 15th at 2:00 PM through Ticketmaster. Fans will have access to payment options such as 3 interest-free installments with participating credit cards. Due to the band's historically high demand in Mexico, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
