Regardless of the size of the venue, each System concert will be loud, wild and packed with fans of heavy metal music.
What specific songs should the fans anticipate being performed during the tour?
System has such an extensive discography that there are a lot of popular hits that can be included in their setlist. Expect them to play such big hits as B. Y. O. B. , Toxicity, and Lonely Day; Not ruling out the possibility of hearing such songs as Devil and War?
It’s been 15 years since Mesmerize and Hyponotize came out, so there will be probably deeper album tracks from those records, like "Radio/Video,” “Question!” and “Soldier Side. ” As for the luck, maybe System will perform a new track so the audience could hope for a new album.
