System of a Down fans are counting down the minutes until the band's first UK gigs in nearly 10 years - but they have one complaint.
Last week, SOAD surprised fans by detailing a handful of European stadium dates for 2026, including a single gig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The rock legends will take over the Spurs stadium on Monday, July 13, 2026, with tickets going on sale later this week.

But Redditors have complained about the timing of this live date, with one fan of the alt-metal band writing: “Shame the London show is on a Monday."
Others bemoaned the fact there's only one UK date on the schedule, but added that they 'couldn't wait' to see the band in the flesh.
The upcoming concert will be SOAD’s first UK appearance since their 2017 headline slot at Download Festival - making it one for the history books.
Fans hoping to snap up tickets to see the four-piece live will have to gather their pennies fast, as the General Sale goes live later this week.
