System of a Down led a crowd chant against Oasis during a concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 13 July, reviving a long-running feud between the two bands. During a performance of “Needles”, guitarist and singer Daron Malakian told the audience he was naming the song’s “tapeworm” after Oasis and encouraged them to chant accordingly. The moment matters mainly as a fresh public escalation in a dispute that has lasted for more than two decades and has drawn attention because of both bands’ high profiles.

The feud dates back to 2001, when Noel Gallagher reportedly described System of a Down as “the shittiest band of all time” around the release of Toxicity. The article says Malakian also referenced the rivalry last year by posting an edited photo of himself with an anti-Oasis message. It adds that System of a Down are next due to headline Sick New World in Fort Worth, Texas, on 24 October 2026, and notes that the latest incident was shared via social media posts.
