System Of A Down are celebrating 25 years of Toxicity with a special exhibition in Los Angeles this October. The week-long event will feature rare stuff from the album’s era, exclusive merch, and different installations inspired by the record. The exhibition will take place at Beyond The Streets, and fans can attend for free.
In a press release, System Of A Down’s team announced that the Toxicity 25th Anniversary Exhibition will run October 13-18 at Beyond The Streets, 434 N La Brea Ave. in Los Angeles, with free admission and no ticket required.
Twenty-five years later, Toxicity has never stopped resonating. Its collision of chaos and beauty, aggression and vulnerability, social consciousness and surrealism has created a resounding impact, transcending genres, geography, and generations.
What began as an uncompromising record became a shared cultural experience that continues to be discovered, interpreted, and embraced by new audiences around the globe. It endures because it never asked the world to look away. And over 2 decades on, System Of A Down remains as provocative, visceral, and culturally relevant as ever—cementing their place as one of the most influential artists in rock history.
System Of A Down x Beyond The Streets: Toxicity 25th Anniversary Exhibition transforms the Los Angeles gallery into a living tribute to one of rock’s most impactful records. Across a week-long run, fans will be invited to celebrate with exclusive merch offerings, a display of rare artifacts and ephemera from the Toxicity era, immersive installations, iconography, and the history that made the album a generational touchstone. The exhibition offers longtime devotees and new fans alike a rare, up-close encounter with the album’s legacy – free and open to the public for its entire run.
