The Mars Volta, Viagra Boys, and VOWWS will serve as special guests

After headlining last year’s inaugural event, System of a Down are returning to headlining the sophomore jaunt. In November 0f 2020, System of a Down released new music for the first time in 15 years. The two tracks – “Protect The Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz” – where written to create awareness of the on-going wars in the band members’ native Artsakh and Armenia. Stream the two tracks below now. Prior to that, System of a Down’s last proper effort was 2005’s Mezmerize and Hyptnotize, companion LPs that came out in May and November respectively. Both albums hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.
Deftones released their last album, Ohms, in 2020. The disc debuted at No. 5 on both the Billboard 200 and UK Albums charts, and No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums and UK Rock & Metal Albums charts. Last year, Deftones performed at the inaugural Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada alongside System of a Down.
