System of A Down coming to Seattle in May

System of A Down recently released a string of U.S. tour dates on its website and one of those dates will see the band perform at KeyArena May 13.

Gogol Bordello will open all shows on the tour. Tickets are $29.50, $39.50, $49.50 and $65.00 and go on sale Friday, March 4 at 10 a.m. at LiveNation.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
