The band’s 12-song set was their first festival appearance of the year marked the second performance with the group’s new drummer, believed to be Eloy Casagrande (pictured), formerly with Sepultura. He replaced Jay Weinberg who was fired by the band last November.

Also, System Of A Down played their first live show in eleven months. The 27-song set opened with “X,“ a song from the ’05 “Mezmerize” album, that delved into the perils of over-population.
