Chop Suey – the ultimate System of a Down tribute
Chop Suey are widely regarded as one of the biggest System of a Down tribute bands in Europe. Based in the UK, they have spent more than a decade touring relentlessly across the continent.
Their concerts are known for explosive energy and musical precision. The band faithfully recreates the chaotic stage presence and raw intensity that defined SOAD in the early 2000s.
Because of this authenticity, Chop Suey have become a must-see act on the European tribute scene.
Slip-NOT – a brutal tribute to Slipknot
Slip-NOT is a relatively new UK tribute project dedicated to the legendary band Slipknot. Interestingly, the band consists of members of Chop Suey, making this a true nu-metal all-star lineup.
Drummer Joyzi is also known for playing in Sinsaenum, where he replaced the late and legendary Joey Jordison.
Their set focuses on the most aggressive and iconic Slipknot songs from the early 2000s.
Fans can expect massive sing-alongs to classics like:
Left Behind
Wait & Bleed
People = Shit
Eyeless
Psychosocial
The Violent Inzident – nu-metal parody unleashed
Opening the night is The Violent Inzident, a British comedic music project that blends nu-metal, performance art and humor.
The band consists of Tiny D, C-man and Bin Man, and they describe their genre as “post-core-sub-nu-metal.”
Their concept is a satirical take on nu-metal clichés and stereotypes. Their shows are chaotic, unpredictable and extremely entertaining — the perfect warm-up for the nu-metal storm that follows.

CHOP SUEY come from the United Kingdom and have spent more than a decade building a reputation as one of the most impressive tribute bands dedicated to System Of A Down.
Today, promoters describe them as the world’s biggest System Of A Down tribute band. That status is backed by years of relentless touring, major international shows and musicians with an impressive professional pedigree.
Their story has never been just about reproducing the songs as faithfully as possible. The band aims to capture the energy, chaos, humour and explosive intensity that made System Of A Down one of the most distinctive bands of their generation.
CHOP SUEY Have Had a Brutal 2026
The British tribute band already ranked among the leading names on the European scene. During 2026, however, they took another major step forward.
The band performed across Europe, including Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovakia, France, Austria and the United Kingdom. Their touring schedule also took them far beyond Europe, including Australia.
The highlight of the year was an appearance at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, one of Europe’s biggest metal festivals.
It was further proof that this project has grown far beyond being simply an interesting tribute band. It has become an international live act with an audience following it from clubs to major festivals.
World-Class Musicians Behind CHOP SUEY
This is not your typical tribute band.
The line-up features musicians associated with bands such as DragonForce, Sinsaenum, Anti-Nowhere League and Tigertailz.
That experience becomes particularly obvious on stage. Complex transitions, sudden rhythm changes, aggressive riffs and vocal exchanges make System Of A Down’s music extremely demanding to perform.
The band combines that precision with an explosive energy that makes their shows feel like much more than a reproduction of the original.
The Energy of Early-2000s System Of A Down
The real strength of the project is the live show.
Rapid transitions, sudden dynamic shifts, aggression, humour and complete unpredictability defined System Of A Down at their peak. That is exactly the feeling this band aims to bring back to the stage.
Their concerts take audiences through the biggest songs from one of the defining alternative metal bands of the early 2000s.
“Chop Suey!”, “Toxicity”, “B.Y.O.B.”, “Aerials”, “Sugar”, “Prison Song” and “Lonely Day” are just part of the repertoire. Their shows quickly turn into massive singalongs and chaos in front of the stage.
CHOP SUEY – From European Clubs to Graspop Metal Meeting
Years of touring across Europe have built a strong audience for the band. But 2026 showed just how much the entire project has grown.
From clubs in Croatia and Serbia to major European stages, they expanded their live story into numerous new markets throughout the year.
Their appearance at Graspop Metal Meeting was the logical culmination of this period. It also showed how the line between a tribute band and a serious festival act has started to disappear.
Thanks to explosive performances of System Of A Down classics, they have become a real force on the international tribute scene.
And their shows, to borrow one of our favourite expressions, are simply too good to miss.

SLIP-NOT come from the United Kingdom and are one of the most exciting new Slipknot tribute bands on the European scene.
The project brings together experienced musicians, including members associated with CHOP SUEY. Their goal is simple: to bring back the raw energy, aggression and chaos that defined Slipknot at their most intense.
There is no holding back here. The focus is on brutal live energy and the songs that an entire generation of metal fans grew up with in the early 2000s.
From Joey Jordison to SLIP-NOT
There is a special story behind the drums.
Behind the kit is Andre Joyzi, former drum tech for the legendary Joey Jordison on Sinsaenum tours. Jordison was Slipknot’s original drummer and one of the most influential metal drummers of his generation.
Joyzi was more than just Jordison’s technician. They developed a close relationship during their time on tour together, and Joyzi has described Jordison as his musical hero.
Their connection later took on another dimension. Following Jordison’s death in 2021, Joyzi became the new drummer for Sinsaenum.
That experience gives the project a direct connection to the man who played a crucial role in shaping the sound of early Slipknot. It can be felt especially in the intensity and precision of the drumming.
SLIP-NOT Bring Back the Brutality of Early Slipknot
The band’s main focus is Slipknot at their most aggressive.
The rawness of the early albums, the explosive live shows and the sense of complete chaos surrounding the band in the early 2000s form the foundation of their performances.
SLIP-NOT do not offer a polished retrospective of Slipknot’s entire career. Their set is brutal, relentless and built around the songs that defined the band around the turn of the millennium.
Aggressive riffs, relentless drums and sudden dynamic shifts create a live show that gives the audience very little time to catch their breath.
These are the moments when the line between the band and the audience quickly disappears. The entire venue starts screaming the same words.
That shared energy is one of the most important parts of their live shows. The audience is not simply watching. It becomes part of the chaos unfolding in front of the stage.
For fans of early Slipknot, it is difficult to imagine a quiet night with a setlist like this.
No Mercy on Stage
SLIP-NOT do not offer polished nostalgia.
They deliver sweat, chaos, aggression and the energy that gave early Slipknot shows an almost mythical status among metal fans.
Their performances are loud, intense and physical. That is exactly how they should be when the set includes some of the most aggressive metal songs of the past few decades.
For the generation that grew up with Slipknot, this is a chance to experience some of that energy again.
For those who missed it, this is a chance to discover why Slipknot shows in the early 2000s felt like they could spiral completely out of control at any moment.

The Violent Inzident is a unique comedy project, band, and something in between. Formed by Tiny D, C-man and Bin man, the group makes it clear from the start that they don’t fit into any traditional musical category.
Their entire approach is built on absurdity, irony, and constantly subverting audience expectations. This is not a band trying to be serious – quite the opposite.
“Post-core-sub-nu-metal” with no rules
They describe their sound as “post-core-sub-nu-metal,” though these labels are more fuel for parody than accurate genre markers. The Violent Inzident relentlessly poke fun at the stereotypes, clichés, and dramatic poses that often accompany heavy music.
Nothing is off limits. Riffs, image, lyrics, and stage presence swing between parody and pure chaos, sending a clear message: metal sometimes takes itself way too seriously.
Not for everyone – and they proudly admit it
The band openly states that they are not for everyone. Especially not for modern-day “snowflakes” or anyone lacking a sense of self-irony. Their humor is direct, exaggerated, and occasionally uncomfortable by design.
The Violent Inzident aren’t seeking approval. They’re seeking a reaction.
An experience words can’t explain
This is a project you cannot fully grasp through description alone. You have to show up, watch it unfold, and decide for yourself. You’ll either find it brilliant or completely unhinged.
