Deftones will tour North America from May 5 to June 20, 2027, with Knocked Loose and julie supporting, the band announced on November 12. The run opens in Dallas and closes at the RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto.
Outlets disagree on the size of it. Consequence and Louder count 23 dates; NU Metal Agenda counts 22. The difference may be the Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City on May 14, where Deftones headline a festival bill rather than play with the touring support acts. The band's own listing is the one to trust.
The routing, and the big rooms
After Dallas the tour moves through Texas, taking in San Antonio and Houston, then on to Phoenix and the West Coast. The biggest night so far named is the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 18. In the east, the band play Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on June 17 before the Toronto finale three days later.
One venue detail is disputed. Most outlets list the Houston show simply as Houston; NU Metal Agenda places it at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, which is north of the city. Live Nation is promoting the tour.
Why this bill
Knocked Loose, the hardcore band from Oakland, Kentucky, are booked for every show. Loudwire reports that julie, from Los Angeles, opens each night. The pairing puts one of the loudest current acts in heavy music ahead of Deftones' set, and a quieter, guitar-heavy band ahead of that. Deftones have long drawn from both ends, which is what the bill reflects.
The band's most recent album is Private Music, from 2025. The tour is billed as a headline run rather than a festival-circuit summer, which makes it the main chance to see them in a US or Canadian venue next year.
Tickets
Artist presale begins November 17 at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation. The general sale follows on November 19 at 10 a.m. local time. Prices were not published in the announcements we found. Sign-ups for the presale are open now.
Anyone aiming for the Hollywood Bowl or Forest Hills nights should expect the fastest sellouts, as both are single-night stops in cities where the band can fill larger rooms than an arena would give them. That is a forecast, not a report: neither promoter has said how many tickets are on offer.
What the rest of the week looked like
Deftones were one of several rock and metal tours announced between November 6 and 12, in a week Loudwire counted at 22 new tours. Royal Blood, Clutch, Till Lindemann and Dashboard Confessional were among the others. For comparison, we covered Fall Out Boy's Twilight of the Punks dates earlier this week, which are a stadium-scale run across Europe, the UK and North America in 2027.
