Brazil made headlines earlier this month with a record-setting displaying at Woman Gaga’s live performance at Copacabana Seaside. However wait until you see footage from System of a Down’s gig in São Paulo earlier this week: “This isn’t a struggle zone, this isn’t a riot, this can be a System of a Down fashion Rock & Roll live performance in Brazil!!!!!!!” guitarist Daron Malakian proudly declared from the stage to an estimated crowd of 75,000 followers, some waving flares and hearth spinners whereas others moshed with abandon. A drone captured the scene from above — and it’s actually one thing else (see under).
The live performance got here as a part of System of a Down’s first go to to South America in a decade, so clearly the gang was additional hyped. For North American followers, the band might be taking part in a sequence of particular stadium reveals in East Rutherford, NJ; Chicago; and Toronto this summer time — although one thing tells me flares received’t be as aplenty at these dates (blame the hearth marshals). Regardless you may get tickets right here.
