Deftones announce 2027 North American tour: Dates, openers, presales and tickets

Deftones are bringing their thunderous live show back across North America in 2027, and they're taking two of alternative music's most exciting acts along for the ride.

The Sacramento metal veterans have announced a new spring tour featuring Knocked Loose and Julie, kicking off May 5 in Dallas and wrapping up June 20 in Toronto.

The announcement comes just days after Deftones hosted their seventh annual Día De Los Deftones festival in San Diego. Following the release of their acclaimed 2025 album private music, the band continues to introduce its genre-bending catalog to a new generation of fans while giving longtime listeners another chance to hear favorites like “Change (In the House of Flies),” “My Own Summer (Shove It)” and “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” live.

Here's everything to know about Deftones' 2027 North American tour, including the complete concert schedule, presale and onsale details, and how to find tickets on SeatGeek.

Who is opening for Deftones on their 2027 tour?

Deftones are bringing Knocked Loose and Julie on the road for all 22 headlining concerts in 2027.

Knocked Loose have become one of hardcore music's biggest success stories, earning widespread attention for their explosive live performances and 2024 album You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To. The Kentucky band also made headlines for their Grammy-nominated collaboration with Poppy, “Suffocate,” and their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Fans can expect a high-intensity set packed with crushing breakdowns and plenty of opportunities for a mosh pit.

Julie will bring a different sound to the evening. The Los Angeles trio blends fuzzy guitars, dreamy vocals and '90s-inspired alternative rock, drawing comparisons to shoegaze pioneers like My Bloody Valentine. Their 2024 debut album my anti-aircraft friend helped establish them as one of the genre's most promising newer acts.

What to expect from Deftones' 2027 North American tour

Few bands can make a crowd go from screaming every word to standing completely transfixed quite like Deftones. More than three decades into their career, Chino Moreno and company remain a formidable live act, delivering concerts that can be beautiful, chaotic and brutally heavy, sometimes within the same song.

Fans can expect a setlist that draws from across the band's catalog, including staples like “My Own Summer (Shove It),” “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” “Change (In the House of Flies)” and “Diamond Eyes.” Songs from their 2025 album private music, including “my mind is a mountain” and “milk of the madonna,” should also feature prominently as the band continues supporting the record.

Moreno's performances are a big part of the experience. He moves between hushed vocals, soaring melodies and piercing screams while guitarist Stephen Carpenter supplies the massive riffs that have defined Deftones' sound since the '90s. Expect plenty of crowd movement, particularly during heavier songs like “Engine No. 9” and “7 Words.”

The 2027 tour also brings Deftones to several outdoor amphitheaters, including the Hollywood Bowl and Forest Hills Stadium. With the band known for dramatic lighting, dense guitar textures and songs that hit especially hard after dark, these shows should make for some memorable summer nights.
