System of a Down‘s 2025 is starting to get pretty packed. The “Chop Suey!” band announced on Monday (Dec. 16) that they will expand on the already announced North American stadium dates they recently announced with a run of South American stadium gigs.
The seven-show Wake Up! South America stadium tour is slated to kick off on April 24 in Bogota, Colombia at the Estadio Nemésio Camacho El Campin, followed by a show in Cercado De Lima, Peru at the Estadio Nacional. The tour will move on to Chile, Argentina and Brazil, wrapping up with a run of three shows in Curitiba, Rio De Janieiro and São Paulo. The concerts will be SOAD’s first trip to South America since 2015. No opening acts have been announced for the South American shows.
Fans can sign up for first access to a pre-sale beginning Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time (Peru at 8 a.m.), with a general on-sale beginning at noon local time on Thursday (Dec. 19).
The reveal came after the band announced a run of 2025 North American shows that will kick off at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on August 27-28 with special guests Korn, as well as two night at Soldier Field in Chicago (August 31-Sept. 1) with Avenged Sevenfold and a final stop at Rogers Stadium in Toronto on Sept. 3 and 5 with Deftones.
SOAD went on hiatus in 2006, with band members splitting off to pursue side projects before reforming in 2011 for a run of European festival dates, which was followed by a series of festival and sporadic headlining gigs over the next decade. Despite teasing a return to the studio to work on a follow-up album to their 2005 double release, Mezmerize and Hypnotize, at press time there was no information on the band’s as-yet-untitled sixth studio album.
