System of a Down kicked off their WAKE UP! tour in Brazil on Tuesday night, the 6th, with a show at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba.
The band has four more shows scheduled in Brazil, continuing in Rio de Janeiro on May 8th (Nilton Santos Stadium – Engenhão) and in São Paulo on May 10th and 11th (Allianz Parque), with the addition of a third date at the Interlagos racetrack on May 14th, opening for AFI . Some tickets are still available for purchase on the Eventim .
This will be the band's first time in Brazil in a decade. SOAD's last visit to the country was in 2015, when they performed at Rock in Rio and played a show in São Paulo.
System of a Down's debut in Curitiba
The highly anticipated System of a Down tour kicked off in Brazil. It was the band's debut in the city of Curitiba, with a packed stadium of approximately 40,000 people. The show lasted about two hours and featured 31 songs – 3 fewer than in other Latin American countries.
According to Setlist.fm , there weren't many surprises compared to their other shows in Latin America. The band played hits like "Aerials," "Lonely Day"—with a snippet of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita"—"Chop Suey!", "Toxicity," "BYOB," and "Bounce"—with a snippet of The Police's "Every Breath You Take."
They also played songs that hadn't been performed live for some time and were recently played in Colombia, Peru, and Argentina, such as "Attack," played for the first time since 2015; "ADD" and "Roulette," which hadn't been played since 2018; and "Violent Pornography," absent since 2019.
The setlist for Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo is likely to change, as bassist Shavo Odadjian SNSMix.com that the band intends to create a different setlist for each of the confirmed dates. "We'll probably change the setup drastically between each [show], so if you go to both shows [in the same city], you'll hear different songs."
