SOAD and Deftones are playing a very special co-headline gig

System Of A Down and Deftones have announced details of a mind-blowingly cool one-off co-headline date.

The two titans will be joined by an equally cool supporting cast of The Mars Volta, Viagra Boys and VOWWS at this standalone show, which will take place at the historic Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on August 17. An old-school looking teaser video announcing the gig promises it to be a “once in a lifetime event” – and we’re very much inclined to believe the hype.

The date will follow this month’s mega Sick New World, which System are co-headlining alongside Slipknot. Deftones, meanwhile, will play Coachella this weekend and next, before heading to Europe in the summer, as well as performing at Lollapalooza in Chicago before the Golden Gate gig.
