System of a Down recently made their return to the road, playing their first show in two years at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Area last week. Unfortunately, their tour is already being forced to pause. Frontman Serj Tankian has tested positive for COVID, so the band's Los Angeles shows, which were scheduled for October 23 and 23 (and postponed from for May of 2020), have been postponed to February 4 and 5, 2022.
"It is with great regret that we must reschedule our Los Angeles performances to February 4th and 5th, 2022," a message from the band reads. "Despite multiple precautionary measures, Serj has unfortunately tested positive for COVID. We're sorry to disappoint our amazing fans with this last minute news, as we could not wait to finally play for you. However, the health of our band, crew, venue staff, and all of our fans is our top priority. All tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Refund availability will be sent to all ticket buyers via email."
