One of the most influential albums in modern rock history is getting a celebration worthy of its legacy. Grammy Award-winning band System Of A Down is marking the 25th anniversary of its groundbreaking album Toxicity with a special week-long exhibition at BEYOND THE STREETS in Los Angeles.

Running October 13 through October 18, 2026, the System Of A Down x Beyond The Streets: Toxicity 25th Anniversary Exhibition will offer fans an immersive look at the music, artwork, and cultural impact surrounding the band's landmark 2001 release. Admission is completely free.

Originally released September 4, 2001, Toxicity debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and quickly established itself as a defining record of its generation. Combining aggressive instrumentation, unconventional songwriting, and politically charged commentary, the album challenged the boundaries of mainstream rock while introducing millions of listeners to System Of A Down's unmistakable sound.

Twenty-five years later, its influence continues to extend across genres and generations.

The upcoming exhibition will transform BEYOND THE STREETS into a celebration of the album's history, featuring rare artifacts, archival memorabilia, immersive installations, recognizable imagery, and exclusive merchandise.

Founded by Roger Gastman, BEYOND THE STREETS is known for celebrating graffiti, street art, and the creative figures who challenge cultural conventions, making the gallery a fitting setting for a band whose career has consistently pushed against expectations.

With more than 42 million albums sold worldwide, System Of A Down remains one of rock's most recognizable acts. The group's lineup of Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian, and John Dolmayan continues to attract audiences around the world.

For longtime fans and newer listeners alike, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to revisit the album that helped redefine heavy music at the beginning of the millennium.
