System Of A Down Inks North American Deal with CAA
The prominent band has announced several major events in 2026
System Of A Down (SOAD), the Grammy-winning, platinum-selling alternative metal band, has signed a new exclusive North American deal with Creative Artists Agency (CAA). They were previously repped by William Morris Endeavor (WME).
Why it matters:
SOAD already has a busy touring schedule for 2026.
They are set to headline the Las Vegas music festival, Sick New World, next April, as well as the debut Texas edition in October.
Background:
After a 15-year hiatus, SOAD released new music in 2020.
The band has sold out multiple stadium runs since then, including North America and Latin America earlier this year.
SOAD has a European Stadium tour planned for 2026.
