The buzz is building on Reddit’s r/coachella as fans rally for System of a Down (SOAD) to land a coveted spot at Coachella 2026. These calls come in the wake of SOAD’s 2025 South American stadium tour, which reignited passion for the band’s unique blend of rock and metal.
Redditors are eager, posting messages filled with “pls,” “gimme,” and “much needed” energy around the newest festival rumors. Some fans also throw Korn into the mix as an ideal match for the upcoming Coachella vibe. Despite some skepticism—particularly about lineup changes or the drummer spot—the overall sentiment is clear: SOAD’s presence would electrify the festival.
However, as of August 23, 2025, the official Coachella 2026 lineup remains under wraps. Goldenvoice, the festival’s organizer, has not confirmed any bookings yet. Coachella 2026 is slated for April 10–12 and April 17–19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, so fans have a waiting game ahead before official announcements drop.
We’ll keep a close eye on any official updates as the festival season approaches to see if System of a Down’s fan-driven momentum will pay off with a headline slot—or if their buzz remains a hopeful fandom dream.
