Deftones are on a roll right now. A whole three decades after the legendary alternative metal formed, Chino Moreno and co remain massively popular, having gone viral on TikTok in recent years and played huge festival headline slots across Europe this summer. It helps, of course, that Deftones have a stonking catalogue of hits, from ‘Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)’ and ‘Change (In the House of Flies)’ to ‘Tempest’.
And Deftones aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Not only are the Sacramento band releasing a new album – Private Music, out August 22 – but they’ve just announced a huge tour of the UK’s biggest arenas. Deftones will tour the UK and Europe at the start of 2026, and initially they’ve confirmed five UK dates.
