The System Of A Down and Slipknot tribute festival returns to Belgrade

British all-star tribute bands celebrating System Of A Down and Slipknot return to Europe in 2027. Their travelling festival FOREVER NU! hits Zappa Barka in Belgrade on March 11, 2027.

Chop Suey and Slip-NOT are already familiar names to Belgrade audiences. Anyone who has experienced their shows knows how seriously they approach the music of the bands they celebrate.

This time, the festival will be even bigger. Two more tribute bands will join the tour, with both names to be announced soon.

FOREVER NU! brings the nu metal generation together again

FOREVER NU! is much more than a show by a single tribute band. It is a travelling festival celebrating bands that defined one of alternative metal’s most exciting eras.

One of the headliners is Chop Suey, the British all-star tribute to System Of A Down. Their live performances have already earned them a dedicated following across Europe.

System Of A Down songs demand much more than simply recreating the originals. Sudden changes, precision, speed and controlled chaos are all essential. Chop Suey brings those elements together on stage.

Two more tribute bands will also join the show. Their names will be announced soon, completing the FOREVER NU! festival lineup.

Slip-NOT brings the most brutal era of Slipknot to the stage

The festival’s second headliner is Slip-NOT, one of Europe’s most exciting Slipknot tribute bands.

Behind the drums is Andre Joyzi, who once worked as drum tech for the legendary Joey Jordison. Their connection later entered another chapter. Joyzi eventually succeeded Jordison as the drummer of Sinsaenum.

Slip-NOT focuses on the most aggressive side of Slipknot’s catalogue. Their relentless set takes audiences back to the era that transformed modern metal in the early 2000s.

Expect songs including “Left Behind,” “Wait & Bleed,” “People = Shit,” “Eyeless” and “Psychosocial.”

When an entire venue screams those songs together, you understand exactly what FOREVER NU! is about.

CHOP SUEY – The World’s Biggest System Of A Down Tribute Band

Who Are CHOP SUEY?

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 – One of Europe’s Most Exciting Slipknot Tribute Bands

Who Are SLIP-NOT?

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.

Wait & Bleed, People = Shit, Eyeless…

And then there are the songs.

“Left Behind”. “Wait & Bleed”. “People = Shit”. “Eyeless”. “Psychosocial”.

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.
