Deftones announce their sixth annual Dia De Los Deftones Festival, returning to Petco Park in San Diego, CA on Saturday, November 1st. The Sacramento group has handpicked the diverse lineup, featuring Clipse, 2Hollis, Rico Nasty, Deafheaven, Régulo Caro, Ecca Vandal, Glare, and University.

Presales start tomorrow (Wed, July 23rd) ahead of the general sale on Friday, July 25th.

Each year, Dia De Los Deftones transforms Petco Park into a mecca of music, art, and culture. Simultaneously, the festival’s fluid sonic identity transcends genre, curating and presenting two stages of artists across hip-hop, electronic, indie, punk, alternative, shoegaze, and metal genres. The grounds showcase a variety of art installations, activations, homegrown vendors, exclusive merchandise, and so much more. All five previous iterations of Dia De Los Deftones saw immediate sellouts, hosting alumni such as Turnstile, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Knocked Loose, Gojira, IDLES, and Sunny Day Real Estate, to name a few. It thrives as a tradition for the band, the fans, and the greater Southern California community.

Before the 2025 installment of the festival, Deftones will release their anxiously awaited tenth full-length studio album, Private Music, on August 22nd, via Reprise/Warner Records.

Deftones notably recorded and co-produced Private Music in various locations in California, including Malibu and Joshua Tree, as well as Nashville, Tennessee with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz. It marks their third collaboration with Raskulinecz, who had previously helmed 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan.

In tandem with the album’s arrival, Deftones also hit the road on the latest leg of their North American headlining tour, produced by Live Nation. The next round of dates commences on August 22nd at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, and continues in arenas across Canada and the United States, including Rocket Arena in Cleveland, OH, on September 10th and Ball Arena in Denver, CO, on September 15th. This second leg comes to a close on September 17th at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, MO. Deftones welcome Phantogram and Idles as direct support on select dates. The Barbarians of California will open for all dates.
