System of a Down

The bands and performances were amazing. One of the best concerts I've seen in a long time. The stadium itself is old and worn out. Seating is very steep, food choices very limited, merch lines were insane and poorly organized. First time at Soldier Field, and it's clear why it's rated one of the worst stadiums. Ticket scanning process was a nightmare. First time in 20+ concerts the scanners at the gate could not read my tickets on my phone. Probably due to the fact that the West gate was in direct sunlight and there was no awning/sun cover for the machines and staff. We had to scramble and move the tickets to Google wallet to get it to work, causing delays and frustration for all.

The venue is very unique. One way in and one way out. We went early enough in the afternoon that parking was not an issue. We parked over at the Shepherd West go station for $2. It was about a 25 minute walk to get to the venue. Once inside, everything was very conveniently located, there was lots of options and areas to purchase merchandise, food and beverages. The sound for the concert was pretty good. All four bands were really great. We sat up in the West stand section 106. The seats were comfortable and lots of legroom, but let’s face it, when SOAD came on, we pretty much stood the whole performance.

2 Nights of Outstanding Shows from beginning to end …..Opened both nights with, “ One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest “, Solider Song”, B.Y.O.B.”, The OZZY tribute , “ Snowblind” was a nice add … and of course they did all of their best songs over the course of the 2 night stand….Prison Song, Darts, “Needles “, “Deer Dance”, “Suite Pee”, and the, “Radio/Video” > “Dreaming “ encore… on the first night a man was caught , master bating in the stands and flares were in the mosh pits both nights as well as people making love on the floor … it was quite the night(s) at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ !

The band's show was wonderful, the best show I've ever seen in my life, the best ever. But the venue's infrastructure could be better, there was only one exit for the entire audience, which made it very difficult to leave after the show ended. Another problem was transportation, there was no organization on the part of the event to make public transportation more accessible on the day of the show. At the time of entry, the staff also did not allow the audience to enter with portable chargers, causing problems for the audience, since many left their devices and had to choose between filming and photographing the moment or leaving their phones charged for the return of the show.

I bought the VIP pack, some 4 times regular price…apart from the separate entry gate and a black bag with the show logo, there was nothing of a VIP more… Everyone else who paid regular was in the same ambient…I felt cheated… The show was superb, very intense energy with all great songs I hear daily. My wakeup call os soldier side intro…The only remark is the voice sound which was bad to hear, poor definition of sound. I had been to the previous 2 shows in Brazil and had a better sound memory… I’glad I was in this too.

Seats with no numbers in the tickets complicated things a little so some people paid for better places and ended up further away from the stage than what they expected to get. Aside from that, the whole show was great: - Setlist was awesome, filled with most classics from the band so most fans could sing most of the songs along - Stage infrastructure was surprisingly good not only due to screens but also the use of lasers and moving illumination - Even the opening band + guest was a good choice

O show em si foi espetacular. Iniciou pontualmente as 21:00, como previsto. Com sistema de som excelente, reproduzindo uma sonoridade clara e equilibrada. Outra questão a ser destacada foram os telões, que potencializaram a experiência. No restante foi bem organizado e seguro em todos os momentos em que estive dentro e nos entornos do estádio. Só não dei 5 estrelas pela logística do estádio Couto Pereira, que na minha opinião acaba dificultando principalmente na saída. Gostaria de ver mais shows na Ligga Arena, creio que tenha uma estrutura mais apropriada para este tipo de evento.

Melhor show da minha vidaaaaaaa!!!. E isso quer dizer algo para alguém nascido em 1972 e tem muitos shows na bagagem. Foi caótico, catárdico, maravilhoso. Foi como se todo mundo se conhecesse e vibrasse em uma só energia. Faltava fôlego de tanto cantar, pois o System não tem música ruim. O fato de ser um.show fora de festival acho que também contribuiu, pois só estava ali quem era fã de verdade. Primeira roda punk da minha vida, e já foi épico porque fui com meu filho de 25 anos. Vai levar muito tempo para a minha euforia com este show do SOAD no Rio de Janeiro passar, quero usar a camiseta todos os dias 🤣🤣. Já estou esperando o próxima show, torcendo para que não leve mais 10 anos, pois o Brasil ama o System e está turnê provou isso ♥️♥️♥️

Incrível, System é sem palavras. A organização do show foi boa, entrei bem rápido e na saída uma pequena fila, mas sem problemas também. Achei que o som poderia ser um pouco mais alto, mas talvez seja só impressão minha pq a galera inteira tava cantando muito alto - real, alto mesmo. Havia vendedores de bebidas espalhados no evento, mas não vi nenhum lugar pra descarte dos copos. Estava chovendo também e muita gente com capa de chuva esperando o show começar. Quando começou o show, resultado? Um monte de copo e capa de chuva espalhada naquele chão plástico molhado e a galera fazendo mosh, e os seguranças preocupados em apagar os poucos sinalizadores que conseguiram levar. No mais, a banda foi impecável, a galera foi insana, me diverti muito.

BEST SHOW EVER! I have been in so many shows and festivals but none has the energy SOAD have on stage. Not only they rule the stage and audience, but the setlist was perfectly made to keep the energy ultra high and make the public get in to a mosh. Wasn't just about watch then, listen then singing, was about LIVE THE EXPERIENCE. SOAD should teach other metal bands how to do a unforgettable experience like that. ❤️‍🔥 BUT the audio was bad, low and out of tune. Eventim: shame on you. The producers of the country are the one who know the places and had time to made the audio structure work and they simply didn't do that at all. Such a shame.

Adentro de 10, solo necesito conseguir merch de la gira para comprar otro buzo. Afuera, maso. Habían policías Pero al pedo, cuando los necesitaron ni aparecieron. Una sola entrada para campo que llevaba la mayor cantidad de gente me pareció poco, para plateas ví dos... Los chicos del merch piolas, gracias al pibe que me vendió el buzo por la paciencia q me tuvo para elegir entre las dos opciones q quedaban, lástima q no les andaban bien los posnets por la señal, pero ellos, la mejor 🫶 Mostaza del frente, excelente servicio, baños limpios, enchufes para cargar el celu, comidita en promo, un par de temas de SOAD, y un pibe de seguridad q justo salía del turno nos acompañó a la parada del bondi 🙌. Y el carrefour q nos proporcionaba el wifi... Muy piola todo. La gente, al menos los q me tocaron cerca adentro y afuera, muy educada 🫶 Que vuelvan prontos por favor 🤞🤞♥️♥️✨🤘🤘

System of a Down at Estadio José Amalfitani (Velez) - May 3, 2025 The show was fantastic, and I left happy after not seeing SOAD live for 10 years. The band delivered a high-energy performance, and the crowd's vibe was electric. However, there were some issues with the venue and organization. It took me 80 minutes to enter the stadium due to long, slow-moving lines. Outside, the usual chaos of rude behavior prevailed—people cutting in line and urinating in the streets. Inside, a massive structure in the middle of the field for sound, lighting, and VIPs obstructed the view and sound for those of us behind it. Theft was also a problem, with pickpockets stealing phones and wallets in the crowd. The sound quality was poor for the first few songs but improved as the show went on. Despite these setbacks, SOAD’s performance made it a memorable night. The organization and venue setup could use serious improvement, though.

Mí amor por ellos es enorme, desde mis 6 años los escucho gracias a mí papá quien fue la persona que me dio la oportunidad de ir a verlos. Muchas gracias a todos los que organizaron esto, muchas gracias por cumplir el sueño de muchos para lograr verlos. Fue un espectáculo hermoso, lleno de emociones y orgullo. Ojalá esta no sea una última vez y sea un hasta luego pero se que los muchachos deben de descansar. Gracias Chicos, gracias por todo y gracias por las hermosas canciones. Me sorprendieron al tocar Roulette, una de mis favoritas ❤️

La organización del evento pauperrima. Para que se den una idea de lo poronga que eran las bandas que tocaban antes sepan que llegando UNA HORA ANTES que toque SOAD. Camine 8 cuadras de cola para entrar y para cuando entré ya había arrancado el show. System cumplió, era lo que esperaba aunque uno siempre tiene ganas de un bis o algo extra pero no. Cerraron el show y se las tomaron. La verdad que podrían tocarse unos temas de scars on broadway. No sé. Muy caro

System of a Down es la infancia y adolescencia para muchos de nosotros. Marcó una etapa importante de nuestras vidas, por lo tanto como banda, siempre será un evento único, por eso se aguanta lo que sea. Sin embargo, de parte de la producción, se presentaron bastantes deficiencias en relación al lugar de cancha general, dónde el terreno era de tierra, lo que generó nubes de polvo durante las presentaciones, lo cuál generó bastante problemas desde leves a fuertes en los asistentes, he leído varios relatos de personas que terminaron en el hospital debido a la cantidad de polvo aspirado. No cumplió con los mínimos. System of a Down: 10/10 Lotus: 1/10

Show was OUTSTANDING!!! I waited for yearss to see SOAD live in Peru 🇵🇪 This is surely the concert of my live! Thanks to SOAD for also keeping the Peruvian flag (signed by fans). As part of the Fan Club in Peru, I feel so grateful that they showed the flag we gave to them with the Clubs logo. And alsoo, as seen in the picture, we organized this Fan Action to show light the stadium with the armenian colors 🇦🇲 Theses moments made me feel quite emotional as they were playing Soldier Side, Lost in Hollywood and Lonely day :’) Thank you SOAD, thiis concert was wild, many circle pits, and even fire 🔥!! it was huge!! Hope to see them again soon 🤘🏼

F**ng amazing! There’s no way we’re ever gonna have another concert like this here in Perú. We witnessed the BEST CONCERT OF ALL TIME in Perú. I’ve seen Metallica, Megadeth, Muse, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Green Day, Linkin Park, and other bands here in Lima, but SOAD did something none of them could do in their concerts—they MOVED THE ENTIRE STADIUM. Literally, they made the whole f**ng stadium shake as one when the concert began. I hope I’m wrong, because I want to feel that again in Perú, my own country.

I have listened to their music forever, mostly when I was younger and in school, their music being amazing as well as the lyrics in them has not changed, listening to them live was really amazing, moreso due to the fans around me. Nevertheless it was a purely transactional concert, they came into the stage and started playing immediately, there was not even 5 seconds in between songs, from start to finish they rushed through the show, it was over within about 2 hours I believe, they addressed the audience twice at most, and throughout I felt no true love for their visit to Bogotá, or for playing for us, it was just another quick job. Very professional I suppose but there was no passion, no encore either, just a few smiles shared within the band and nothing else for us who waited months for the event, paid money and waited hours in line to see them. I'll continue listening to their music as I love the message in their songs, but will not pay anything to see them again live, there's really no point I'd say if you just like the music, no show to expect really in my opinion.

What a night. I can truthfully say that I saw both the best set and the worst set I’ve ever seen in the same night. At the drive in was extremely painful to sit through, and that’s not coming from someone who’s sheltered by easy-listening mainstream music. I listen to black flag, MDC, DRI, minor threat, etc so I’m used to hardcore-sounding music, but WOW there was nothing enjoyable about at the drive in’s set at all. I’ve heard better bands at house shows. HOWEVER, System of a Down more than made up for it. I bought my tickets way back in April the day they went on sale, so there has been lots of hype for me, but they definitely exceeded all of my expectations. I usually average at least 3 shows a month and system was the best performance I’ve ever seen. I really hope someday they might come back.

System of a Down was GREAT!!! We were super stoked to see them and it was better than expected (minus the lighting). The openers weren’t the best. The 1st one Skeleton Witch was good (screaming isn’t my style but the music itself was enjoyable). The 2nd opener, At the Drive In was awful. My boyfriend and I both did not enjoy it, the lead singer was random and rude (when you could understand him) and the music wasn’t something you could follow; too all over the place. Sorry guys.
