System of a Down concert chronology

TheWake Up the Souls Tour was aconcert tour by American rock bandSystem of a Down, which commenced in April 2015. The tour was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of theArmenian genocide and raise awareness of the events which saw roughly 1.5 million Armenians killed by theOttoman Empire government in 1915.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Having announced that they would headline the 2014KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas concert,[3] they then announced that they would headline theRock in Rio festival in Brazil the following September.[4] Rumours then began to spread about a possible full world tour & maybe a new album, particularly because of drummerJohn Dolmayan's strange but choreographed tweets gradually counting down to the announcement on November 24, 2014. He tweeted the day before "T-Y-W-K" which led many to believe he meant "tomorrow you will know".[5]

The tour started with one stop in North America.[6][7] System revealed in November 2014 the 'Wake Up The Souls Tour,' scheduled to begin on April 10 at the Wembley Arena in London and finish on April 23 for the band's first ever show in their ethnic homeland ofArmenia.[2] Their performance in the capital city ofYerevan at theRepublic Square was a free show.

The main objective of the tour was to create awareness and recognition of the genocide to the entire world, particularly in Turkey, whose government does not fully recognise the genocide the preceding Ottoman Empire conducted.[6] The band's announcement on their website called for the Turkish people who stand with the band on the issue of theArmenian genocide to speak out and raise awareness of it.[8]
