System of a Down Announce Stadium Tour, Finally Returning to Poland in 2026

Location: PGE Narodowy, Warsaw
Date: 18/07/2026
Organizer: Live Nation Polska

We’ve been dreaming of photographing them for ages, and now, the wait is finally over. System of a Down, one of the most influential rock bands of the 21st century, is returning to Poland as part of their massive 2026 UK & European Stadium Tour. The Los Angeles quartet will perform on July 18, 2026, at Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy Stadium, bringing with them a lineup that promises to shake the very foundations of the venue.

Special guests Queens of the Stone Age and cult icons Acid Bath will join them on stage, making this one of the strongest rock lineups Europe has seen in years.

The tour follows the enormous success of System of a Down’s sold-out North American stadium run and a triumphant Latin American tour earlier this year, which drew half a million fans. Produced by Live Nation, the European leg kicks off on June 29 in Stockholm and includes major shows in Paris, Milan, Berlin, Düsseldorf, London, and finally Warsaw.

Since their self-titled platinum debut in 1998, System of a Down has sold over 45 million albums worldwide, earned a GRAMMY® Award, and headlined countless festivals and stadiums across continents. Their music, blending political sharpness with spiritual intensity and unrelenting sound, continues to resonate with millions. On Spotify alone, the band still attracts over 23 million monthly listeners, underscoring their enduring influence.

The band’s lineup remains the same as it has for decades: Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards), Shavo Odadjian (bass), and John Dolmayan (drums).

Queens of the Stone Age, founded by Josh Homme in the California desert, are no strangers to Polish audiences. With unforgettable hits like “No One Knows” and “Little Sister“, they’ve built a reputation as one of the best live rock acts in the world.

Meanwhile, Acid Bath’s return is one of the most electrifying reunions of 2025. Nearly three decades after disbanding, the cult sludge/doom pioneers will open the shows, reviving their raw, poetic darkness that influenced generations of heavy music fans.
