Plus Special Guests Denzel Curry and Drug Church
Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones are set to return to arenas across Europe and the UK in early 2026 in support of their forthcoming 10th studio album, private music. The 2026 EU/UK Tour kicks off January 29 and includes 15 shows across major cities, including 3Arena Dublin. Deftones will be joined by Denzel Curry and Drug Church as support across these dates.
The announcement follows the release of Deftones' brand new single, “my mind is a mountain”, premiered by Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Radio show. Recorded in California’s Malibu, Joshua Tree, and in Nashville, Tennessee, private music sees Deftones continuing to push sonic and emotional boundaries. With the group’s unmistakable blend of heaviness and atmosphere, private music promises to be a landmark release in a career defined by fearless innovation.
Deftones’ culture is revered as one of the most fervent that exists—a GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum sonic outlier whose originality and culture prove peerless. Formed by hometown friends out of Northern California in 1988, the Sacramento band have delivered a succession of seminal releases, sold over 10 million records globally, gathered 9.2 billion-plus streams, and inspired generations. Their catalogue encompasses 2000’s RIAA certified 2X-Platinum White Pony—which earned the group’s first GRAMMY®—as well as the RIAA Platinum-certified Diamond Eyes [2010], Koi No Yokan [2012], and Ohms [2020]. The latter marked their fourth Top 5 debut on the Billboard 200. Their world also notably includes the annual Dia De Los Deftones, an immersive full-day festival experience of music and culture curated and headlined by the band at San Diego’s Petco Park for six iterations so far. In 2025, they release their 10th full-length LP, private music, which signals yet another artistic peak and once more affirms Deftones are forever.
