Deftones on Tour

Deftones have long had a reputation for being a commanding live act. Vocalist Chino Moreno is an active, energetic frontman who runs and jumps around the stage as he sings, when he's not shredding on his guitar. The rest of the band churn out heavy grooves indebted to post-hardcore and alternative metal as well as modern rock–leaning faves such as The Cure (a band Moreno loves).

During their career, Deftones have gone on numerous high-profile tours, including the 2010 Blackdiamondskye trek with Mastodon and Alice in Chains, and a 2018 South American tour with post-hardcore icons Quicksand. (The latter's Sergio Vega also plays bass for Deftones.) They've performed on Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, the Family Values Tour and Ozzfest, and appeared at major gatherings such as Lollapalooza, Pinkpop Festival, Roskilde Festival and the Soundwave Festival.

Deftones in Concert

Deftones' roots stem from the friendship of three friends: Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter and Abe Cunningham, all of whom grew up in Sacramento, California, as skateboarding and music fanatics. The trio started jamming together in the late '80s alongside other musicians, including the late bassist Chi Cheng. After honing their sound with live gigs, Deftones ended up signing a major record deal in 1994 with Madonna's Maverick Records and released their debut album, Adrenaline, the following year.

The group followed this up with 1997's Around the Fur, which cemented Deftones as a part of the burgeoning nu-metal movement. Then, starting with 2000's critically acclaimed White Pony, the band became known for boundary-stretching metal that drew on atmospheric textures and heavy riffs. White Pony spawned the alternative hit "Change (In the House of Flies)" and the song "Elite," the latter winning the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Other notable songs followed, including "Minerva" (from 2003's self-titled album) and the title track of 2010's Diamond Eyes. Deftones continue to be a formidable touring and recording machine, and released Gore in 2016.

    It’s like you never had wings

    by Lizzy Borden on 11/8/22Petco Park - San Diego

    One of the best festivals I’ve been to in a while. Great bands and nice artwork and set up the venue was perfect. The merchandise line sucked big time worse than Disneyland.

    Día De Los Deftones was a blast!

    by Wvyrv on 11/8/22Petco Park - San Diego

    I got to see so many good bands I’ve been wanting to see; Deftones (for the 2nd time), Phantogram (for the 1st time), Destroy Boys (new band I really liked!) and Turnstile (first time seeing them live and it was amazing! Even if I thought I was going to die during the pit lol).

    Heavy, Chaotic, Awesome

    by WildMan22 on 11/8/22Petco Park - San Diego

    One of the rowdiest concerts I’ve ever been to!! The crowd was ready to rock after two years without this festival. Turnstile brought the energy, but their songs started to all merge together and sound like one long angry punk rock song. I’ve seen Deftones 7 times now, and although they pulled out some older classics like Back to School and RX Queen, this might have been my least favorite Deftones set. They seemed to be having sound issues too according to Chino, when he addressed the audience mid concert. Overall, wild energy, aggressive crowd, and an extra angry Chino Moreno. That being said, I loved it and had a great time

    Merch

    by Phantom bride on 11/8/22Petco Park - San Diego

    over all the concert was fun and there wasn’t to many ppl for it being sold out. Would def go again. Only complaint is that The merch area was poorly placed. The line was directly In front of the entrance/food stands. It was extremely annoying to be in line and people crossing through every second. It made the line more confusing and people were cutting.
