System of a Down in Wellington and the group file.
System of a Down play one New Zealand show, at Hnry Stadium in Wellington on Sunday 7 February 2027, with Faith No More as special guests. It closes a four-show Australia and New Zealand run that opens in Sydney on 22 January. WellingtonNZ has said it is confident of a sell-out.
- A single New Zealand date draws the audience to one city on one night, so Wellington rooms are likely to tighten well before the weekend.
- The show is on Waitangi weekend, when many New Zealanders travel, so confirm flights and ferry sailings early.
- Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane play first, so groups travelling from Australia may want to add New Zealand days to the trip.
The stay, transport and programme around the date.
We do not sell the event. We plan the accommodation, the transfers and the days either side so a group can attend without the logistics becoming the story.
- Accommodation sourced in central Wellington, with release dates agreed at quotation
- Coach and private transfers between the hotel, the stadium and Wellington Airport
- Flight and Cook Strait ferry sequencing for groups continuing around the country
- A programme before or after the show: Wellington’s waterfront, Te Papa and Zealandia
