Deftones

Deftones are a celebrated American alternative metal group that has consistently pushed boundaries since their formation in 1988. Blending elements of alternative rock and metal, Deftones have carved a distinctive niche in the international live music scene, earning devoted fans and critical acclaim alike. Their discography includes notable albums like "Ohms," released in 2020, and "Gore" from 2016, building on a storied catalogue that reflects the band’s evolution and enduring influence.

The group’s recent touring activity underscores their enduring appeal and stature within the world of live music. In February 2026, Deftones headlined major UK arenas including Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Manchester’s Co-op Live, Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live and Utilita Arena, and London’s iconic O2. Their presence on festival stages is equally significant; at the Sick New World event in October 2025 at Texas Motor Speedway, they appeared as a key support act for System of a Down, further cementing their reputation for electrifying concerts. Deftones have also supported acts like KORN AGAIN at Exchange in Bristol and taken the stage in Nottingham for the FAZED event alongside a diverse lineup.

With the forthcoming album "private music" slated for release in August 2025, Deftones continue to shape the alternative metal landscape. To stay in tune with new music, official news, and future tour dates, be sure to follow Deftones and keep an eye out for their upcoming gigs.
