Brazil made headlines earlier this month with a record-setting exhibiting 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 warfare 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 beneath).
Get System of a Down Tickets Right here
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 group was additional hyped. For North American followers, the band can be enjoying a sequence of particular stadium exhibits in East Rutherford, NJ; Chicago; and Toronto this summer season — although one thing tells me flares gained’t be as aplenty at these dates (blame the fireplace marshals). Regardless you may get tickets right here.
