System of a Down launched their 2025 North American tour with a two-night stint at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, featuring Korn as co-headliners and support from Polyphia and Wisp. The band performed a setlist packed with fan favorites from their albums Toxicity and their self-titled debut, including rare live renditions of "Tentative" and a tribute cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind" in honor of the late Ozzy Osbourne, which they had not played live since 2002. Guitarist Daron Malakian paid tribute to Osbourne and recounted the impact of touring with him on Ozzfest, prompting the audience to chant his name before launching into the cover. The performances showcased System of a Down's enduring energy and connection to their fans, blending nostalgic hits with special moments commemorating Osbourne's influence on their career. The tour continues with further shows in Chicago and Toronto, each with different co-headliners. This return marked their first NYC-area shows in over a decade, highlighting their sustained relevance in the metal scene.
