\n\tThe announcement followed a week of teasers across both countries.

\n\tTickets go on general sale Friday, July 31, with staggered start times across the four markets. A PayPal First Access presale begins July 29, preceded by an artist presale for mailing-list subscribers on July 28. Ticketing is handled through TEG Live.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe shows mark System of a Down\u2019s first Australian dates since 2012, when they played the now-defunct Soundwave Festival. The band recently wrapped a European and U.K. tour and headlined Las Vegas\u2019 Sick New World Festival in April. Faith No More, meanwhile, were last in Australia in 2015, supporting the final edition of Soundwave.<\/p>\n

\n\tSystem of a Down remain one of the most commercially significant heavy acts of their era despite not having released a studio album since 2005. That year, the band pulled off a rare feat: their companion albums Mezmerize<\/em> (May) and Hypnotize<\/em> (November) both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making System of a Down the first band since Led Zeppelin in 1970 to land two No. 1 studio albums in the same calendar year. Mezmerize<\/em> opened with 453,000 copies and Hypnotize<\/em> with 320,000. Both followed 2001\u2019s breakthrough Toxicity<\/em>, which also debuted at No. 1 and has since sold millions worldwide, powered by the singles \u201cChop Suey!\u201d and \u201cB.Y.O.B.,\u201d the latter earning the band a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. Across their catalogue, three of their five studio albums debuted atop the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

\n\tFaith No More, the influential Bay Area alternative-metal band fronted by Mike Patton, broke through in 1989 with \u201cEpic,\u201d which reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped pioneer the rap-rock fusion that would dominate the following decade. Their 1989 album The Real Thing<\/em> was certified platinum, and their most recent record, Sol Invictus<\/em>, arrived in 2015 following an 18-year studio hiatus.<\/p>\n
