System Of A Down are having fun again, and Shavo Odadjian says that's the whole reason they're back in stadiums.
Speaking on the Essential Watches podcast, the bassist said, "We're having fun again, bro. We're having fun." He explained the band's long break happened because it stopped being fun, and they refused to do "fake tours" just for the money.
Shavo added that SOAD don't do traditional tours anymore, they make events happen, and he admitted they could stop again after these shows.
He also said he'd rather the band make less and add more shows so more fans can get in. As for who's showing up, he says it's mostly kids now, with the original fans up front and their parents in the seats.
Next up, SOAD return to Australia and New Zealand in January and February 2027 for the first time in over a decade, with Faith No More on every date.
