Fans of System of a Down are along the starting blocks! The renowned American band is poised to let its powerful hits ring out across several European cities this summer, including Stockholm, Berlin, and London. Serj Tankian and his bandmates are also headed to Paris, with two exceptional shows scheduled for Thursday, July 2 and Saturday, July 4, 2026 at Stade de France. We note that these European dates mark SOAD’s big return to the continent since 2017.
And SOAD fans have another reason to celebrate, as the alternative metal band has announced the opening of a pop-up store in several cities along this tour. Good news for French fans, since Paris has welcomed this famous ephemeral shop dedicated to the world of System of a Down from July 1. Open for a limited five-day run and offering exclusive products, the pop-up store will also open in the Swedish, German and British capitals, as well as in Düsseldorf.
Want to know where this pop-up shop has taken up residence in Paris? In the capital, head to from Wednesday, July 1 to Sunday, July 5, 2026 in the 2nd arrondissement (23 rue du Sentier) to discover the official System of a Down pop-up store. Curious about the hours? The shop will be open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
So what should we expect, then? What objects and accessories can fans snag inside this official pop-up store? We swung by on Wednesday morning, the first day of opening. It’s almost 11 a.m., and the queue is already stretching along Rue du Sentier. Two lines face off: on one side, fans who booked a time slot via this link to "benefit from a faster experience," and on the other, walk-ins without a reservation. As for wait times, it largely depends on arrival time and the day. This Wednesday morning, roughly 20 minutes was enough to gain entry. But that could be longer this weekend or during lunch breaks.
Once inside, fans are spoiled for choice with the famous Paris-specific tees, as well as T-shirts from the European and British tour, plus several other shirts (unisex sizes). Expect €45 per T-shirt.
SOAD has also teamed up with a well-known Danish sports brand to offer jerseys in the band's colors, with prices starting at 90 euros for the short-sleeve jersey and 105 euros for the track jacket.
Three different hoodies (sizes also mixed) are available at €90, along with a military shirt at €90, two caps (€40), a pair of socks (€30), a mug (€20), a keychain (€20), or the famous poster from the Paris shows, priced at €40.
Regarding the exclusive vinyl "Toxicity", sold in a limited edition for the 25th anniversary of the flagship album, the pop-up had unfortunately not yet received them by this Wednesday morning. The shop hopes to receive them on Thursday, July 2, the day of the first concert. They will be sold at 40 euros.
And as fans browse the merchandise, they can warm up for SOAD's two upcoming shows with the band’s tunes looping in the shop. Visitors can also snap a photo beside the life-size reproduction of the "Toxicity" album cover.
