The end of the successful 2025 edition of I-DAYS is still near, the echoes of the applause of the 250,000 spectators who came to Milan to hear the artists who graced the stages of the two Milanese racecourses live can still be heard, and the first names starring in the new edition of Italy's most famous concert series are already arriving: SYSTEM OF A DOWN with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and ACID BATH.

A high-impact lineup featuring some of the most influential bands in modern rock for a special event on July 6th at the Snai La Maura Hippodrome.

After the huge success of this year's tour (6 stadium dates in North America and a triumphant sold-out tour in Latin America that sold 500,000 tickets) SYSTEM OF A DOWN are ready for their big return to Europe.

As the most inspired, impactful, and inimitable rock band of the 21st century, SYSTEM OF A DOWN has sold 45 million records worldwide, won a GRAMMY® Award, and headlined arenas, festivals, and stadiums across multiple continents. Formed in Los Angeles, the group has soundtracked a personal, political, sonic, and spiritual revolution since the release of their multi-platinum, self-titled debut album in 1998. The quartet has consistently sold out venues around the world and regularly clocks over 23 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making them one of the most streamed rock/alternative bands in the world. SYSTEM OF A DOWN is Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards), Shavo Odadjian (bass), and John Dolmayan (drums).

The rock icons will come to Italy for their only live date in the country, joined by special guests QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and ACID BATH, who will be opening. SYSTEM OF A DOWN will also soon announce a very special show as part of this tour.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE return to the I-DAYS stage after their memorable 2024 show. The Californian band led by Joshua Homme is ready to reaffirm their central role in the international rock world with the blood, sweat and dark, magical swagger that only Homme and his bandmates can conjure.

Too prolific, ambitious, and simply brilliant to be constrained or limited by the confines of any genre, the band transformed into the juggernaut that blessed the world with a range of hits from "No One Knows" to "Little Sister," from "My God is the Sun" to "The Way You Used To Do," and everything in between.

Consistently hailed as one of the greatest live bands around, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE is comprised of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore… What began as “generator parties” in the desert have evolved into sold-out arenas and main stage headliners at your favorite festivals.

ACID BATH’s return, after nearly three decades apart, has stood out as one of the most electrifying and talked-about reunions of 2025. Long considered a cult legend with an untouchable legacy, the band’s reformation has ignited excitement among generations of fans, from those who witnessed their original rise to a new wave of teenagers discovering their music for the first time.

The band's legendary status was set in stone after just two studio albums: When the Kite String Pops (1994) and Paegan Terrorism Tactics (1996), and their 1997 breakup left a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans. Now, after this year's success, anticipation is building for their return to Italy in 2026.
