System Of A Down confirmed to reunite

After a five year hiatus, System Of A Down have confirmed that they are reuniting to play a number of shows and festivals in Europe in 2011

The band has officially released a statement on their website after weeks of rumors saying:

''We are excited to announce that System will be playing some dates together in 2011.
We also want to thank you for your loyalty and support, not only to System Of A Down, but to all of our solo efforts as well. We have no master plan of sorts - we are playing these shows simply because we want to play together again as a band and for you, our amazing fans. We look forward to seeing all of you!''

System Of A Down's last album release was 'Hypnotize' in 2005, 5 months before the band announced their hiatus in mid 2006
