System of A Down to Tour this Summer

Lately it seems like ever band to reunite (I'm looking at you Soundgarden), has a big announcement, maybe plays one or two big shows, and than......makes us wait and wait and fucking wait for any news or information about their reformed plans. System of A Down is one of those reunion bands, announcing a few months ago that the System was up and running again (or should I say Down and running?) with European festival dates planned for summer 2011. So since that November announcement (seems like eternity ago) US fans have been patiently waiting and hoping that System would return to US soil for a tour, or at least a few festival appearances (no such luck for ROTR).
