System Of A Down are giving fans another reason to get excited ahead of their sold-out UK and European stadium tour this summer.
To celebrate the band’s long-awaited return, official SOAD fan stores will open in Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, Düsseldorf and London, giving fans the chance to pick up exclusive tour merchandise before the shows arrive in each city.
The pop-up stores will feature a range of limited-edition items, including clothing, accessories, collectibles and exclusive coloured vinyl editions of Toxicity, with each city receiving its own unique pressing to mark the occasion.
One of the standout pieces in the collection is a collaboration with sportswear brand hummel, bringing official System Of A Down football shirts to fans for the first time.
The timing also feels fitting. This year’s tour coincides with the 25th anniversary of Toxicity, the album that cemented System Of A Down as one of the defining rock bands of the early 2000s and introduced songs that continue to fill festival fields and arenas more than two decades later.
The London fan store will open at 56–57 Eastcastle Street from 10–16 July, while the other stores will appear in Stockholm, Paris, Berlin and Düsseldorf as the tour makes its way across Europe.
For fans lucky enough to have tickets, the pop-up stores add another layer to what’s already one of the most anticipated rock tours of the year. And for collectors, the city-exclusive vinyl and merchandise are likely to disappear just as quickly as the tickets did.
The fan stores will be open between 10.00 am–8.00 pm up to and including the last date of trade, except for the London store, which will operate reduced hours of 11.00 am–5.00 pm on Sunday 12th July.
With walk-ins welcome, the fan stores are expected to garner heavy traffic. To avoid prolonged wait times, fans can book their visit here.Â
