While often underappreciated commercially and critically during their turn-of-the-century peak, Sacramento alt-metal band Deftones has enjoyed an extended revival of interest in recent years, consistently ranking as one of the top-performing bands on streaming and hosting the Dia de los Deftones single-day festival every year since 2020.

Now, the band is embarking on its first headline tour since 2022, and they’re visiting arenas across North America. Deftones will kick off the untitled 2025 trek at Portland’s Moda Center on Feb. 25, and then will hit legendary venues such as the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York over the following month and a half, before wrapping at Boston’s TD Garden in April.
Guests on the tour will be Texas prog-metal veterans The Mars Volta and Boston nu-gazers Fleshwater. Tickets go on sale Friday (Sept. 20) at 10 a.m. local time, and will of course be followed with this year’s Dia de los Deftones festival in November, featuring such other acts as IDLES, Health and Sunny Day Real Estate (performing the entirety of its iconic 1994 debut album Diary).
