ABOUT SYSTEM OF A DOWN
As the most inspired, impactful, and inimitable rock band of the 21st century, SYSTEM OF A DOWN has sold 45 million records worldwide, earned a GRAMMY® Award, and headlined arenas, festivals, and stadiums on multiple continents, worldwide. Formed in Los Angeles, the group have soundtracked personal, political, sonic, and spiritual revolution since the 1998 release of their multi-platinum self-titled debut. The quartet have consistently sold out shows worldwide and regularly register over 23 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making them one of the most-listened to rock/alternative bands in the world. SYSTEM OF A DOWN is Daron Malakian [guitars, vocals], Serj Tankian [vocals, keys], Shavo Odadjian [bass], and John Dolmayan [drums].

ABOUT QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
Formed by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age is what happens when a multidimensional musical entity outgrows the very genre it creates. Too prolific, ambitious and just plain brilliant to be tethered to or limited by the confines of any genre. Ultimately morphing into the behemoth that has blessed the world with a range of bangers from “No One Knows” to “Little Sister,” “My God is the Sun” to “The Way You Used To Do” and everything in between. Undeniably rock — yes, always, but with the blood, sweat and dark magical swagger only Homme and his cohorts can conjure.

Regularly hailed as one of the greatest live bands in existence, Queens of the Stone Age consists of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore… What started off as “generator parties” in the desert has evolved to sold out arenas and headlining the main stage of your favorite festivals.

ABOUT ACID BATH
ACID BATH’s return after nearly three decades has become one of 2025’s most electrifying reunions. Long hailed as cult legends, their reformation has ignited excitement across generations — from original fans to a new wave discovering their music for the first time.

Emerging in the early ’90s, Acid Bath pioneered a molten mix of sludge, doom, punk, grunge, and psychedelia, pairing crushing riffs with haunting melodies and poetic, unsettling lyrics. Their status was cemented with just two studio albums — When the Kite String Pops (1994) and Paegan Terrorism Tactics (1996) — before disbanding in 1997 after the death of bassist Audie Pitre. Nearly thirty years later, their legacy burns brighter than ever.
