Twenty-five years after reshaping the landscape of modern rock, System of A Down is inviting fans to step directly inside the world of their diamond-certified masterpiece. The GRAMMY Award-winning icons have announced a special, week-long exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary of Toxicity at Los Angeles’ renowned BEYOND THE STREETS gallery.
Running from Tuesday, October 13 through Sunday, October 18, 2026, the exhibition is entirely free to the public with no tickets required, offering a rare, up-close journey into one of the most culturally significant records in alternative music history.
Inside the Toxicity Exhibition
Transforming the La Brea Avenue gallery into a living tribute, the exhibition captures the chaotic beauty, fierce aggression, and surrealism that defined the era. Visitors can expect an exclusive display of rare historical artifacts and behind-the-scenes ephemera from the album’s 2001 release, alongside immersive visual installations exploring the iconic iconography and socio-political themes central to the band’s artistry. Additionally, fans will have access to special commemorative gear available exclusively during the week-long run.
A Cultural Touchstone That Refuses to Fade
Released on September 4, 2001, Toxicity instantly captured the pulse of a changing world, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earning SPIN’s Album of the Year honors. Driven by timeless anthems like “Chop Suey!”, “Spiders,” and the title track, the record transcended genres and borders.
Today, over two decades later, System of A Down commands more than 26 million monthly listeners on Spotify and continues to sell out stadiums worldwide. Comprising Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian, and John Dolmayan, the band remains as provocative and visceral as ever.
