The Californian alternative metal pioneers Deftones are scheduled to play their biggest UK headline show for the second year in a row, which is another indication that they are still getting better. As reported by theprp, the band performed at London’s Crystal Palace in June of last year, which can accommodate more than 25,000 spectators.
They recently announced a show in London’s Victoria Park on August 23rd in collaboration with All Points East and Outbreak, so they’ll be back to top that next year. The location can accommodate close to 50,000 people. Lineup includes:
IDLES
Amyl And The Sniffers
EsDeeKid
JPEGMAFIA
¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U
Basement
Wisp
Deafheaven
Show Me The Body
If that’s insufficient, more artists are still needed for the event. Tickets will go on sale at 9:00 a.m. GMT on Friday, November 14. Naturally, after announcing the next run with Denzel Curry and Drug Church, Deftones will also be available in Europe and the UK in early 2026.

Grammy-winning rock group Deftones is a guitar-centric, riff-driven band. Since their 1995 debut, “Adrenaline”, the alt legends have been revered as extremely passionate masters of sonic layering. Stephen Carpenter is the band’s primary guitarist, while lead singer Chino Moreno started adding additional guitars with their third release, 2000’s “White Pony”. Together, they create a dense, colorful, musical wall. Carpenter is the consummate gear head. He runs his signature ESP guitars through a wall of Fractal processing, Engl preamps, and Orange cabinets.
