System of a Down to Headline Massive ‘One Night Only’ Concert in Rio de Janeiro

System of a Down fans now have the ultimate reason to visit Brazil in 2027.

The iconic alt-metal group has announced One Night Only, a landmark performance taking place in Rio de Janeiro, on Jan. 15, 2027, at Maracanã Stadium. According to posts on the band’s social media accounts, System of a Down will return for a single performance, with Faith No More joining as a special guest.

The event will serve as the perfect warm-up as the band prepares for its newly announced 2027 run through South America before heading to Australia and New Zealand with Faith No More. The band recently completed a European and U.K. tour and headlined the Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas in April. Faith No More last toured Australia in 2015, backing the final Soundwave edition.

For the Grammy winners, their return to Brazil carries special meaning. The band headlined a performance at Rock in Rio in 2015 and held shows in São Paulo last year when they returned to South America, performing five stadium shows as part of its “Wake Up! South America Stadium Tour.”

System of a Down released its fifth and most recent studio album, Hypnotize, in 2005. The project, part of a double-album concept following 2005’s Mezmerize, remains the band’s last full-length album. Both projects reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making the band the first to land two No. 1 studio albums in the same calendar year since Led Zeppelin in 1970.

Presale tickets for One Night Only go on sale Tuesday (Aug. 18) at 10 a.m., with first access granted to fans who sign up for the email list. General ticket sales begin Friday (Aug. 21) at noon.
