2027 North American Tour
November 12th, 2026 by Jimmy Alvarez
The year was 1988 when the trajectory of music would be changed forever. Like everything else in life, it started off small and non-suspecting. The change came in the form of a band from Sacramento, California called Deftones!
The band was first categorized as an alternative rock band, but as their signature sound unfolded, they were part of launching a new dawn – a genre called nu-metal. “Adrenaline” was their ’95 debut album that gave us “Bored” and “7 Words.”
It wasn’t until the new millennium, Y2K – that’s 2000 if you were too young for that insanity. Nevertheless, the world was about to see what the future would bring with the band’s junior album “White Pony” and their mega-hit, “Change (In the House of Flies).”
Since then, they have delivered a sound that is uniquely Deftones. Songs that made them international sensations include, “My Own Summer (Shove It),” “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” “Passenger,” “Ohms,” and more recently “My Mind is a Mountain,” and “infinite source.”
The band recently electrified fans at their annual Dia de los Deftones festival at Petco Park in San Diego. The band is just as solid as ever with Chino Moreno behind the mic, Stephen Carpenter on guitar, Frank Delgado on keys / turntables and Abe Cunningham behind the drum kit.
When you go to the live shows you will also experiece Fred Sablan on bass, Lance Jackman also on lead guitar and Shaun Lopez on rhythm guitar. Their collective sonic vision is on full display each time they take the stage.
Their legion of loyal followers went ballistic when they got the news about the band’s 2027 North American tour.
The tour begins May 5th in Dallas and crisscrosses North America making a stop at the iconic Hollywood Bowl on May 18th. The tour will wrap up on June 20th at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre. Support for the tour will be provided by Knocked Loose and julie.
If you are part of the Deftones Army or a devout music fan – you can purchase tickets via band presale starting on November 17th (click below). General sales begin November 19th at 10 a.m. (local time).
If you like your music soft and melodic, this tour isn’t for you. Then again, if you like it loud, in your face and able to peel your face off – yeah, go see Deftones!
