In a shocking and exciting announcement, iconic alternative metal band Deftones has revealed plans for a 2026
reunion tour, catching fans completely off guard. The band, known for its experimental approach to metal,
atmospheric soundscapes, and emotionally charged performances, has not been on the road for a full-scale tour
since their last major outing in 2019.
A Long-Awaited Return
Deftones fans have been eagerly awaiting any news of a return to the stage. Although the band has continued to
release music, including their critically acclaimed album Ohms in 2020, live performances have been sparse in
recent years. Many believed that the pandemic and other personal commitments would mean Deftones would take a
much longer break from touring. However, the announcement today has shattered those expectations and sent the
music world into a frenzy.
Chino Moreno, the band’s lead vocalist, hinted at the possibility of a reunion tour earlier this year during a podcast
interview, but no one could have predicted this swift move. As the band’s most recent statement reads, “We’ve spent
the last few years reflecting on everything we’ve been through as a band and as individuals. The time feels right for
us to reconnect with our fans in the most special way possible—on the road.”
What to Expect from the 2026 Reunion Tour
Deftones fans can look forward to a thrilling and unique setlist for the 2026 reunion tour, with potential appearances
of fan favorites from albums like White Pony, Around the Fur, Koi No Yokan, and of course, their latest work, Ohms.
The band is known for experimenting with their live performances, blending old tracks with new sounds, and
creating an atmosphere that is both intensely personal and captivating.
Rumors are already swirling about the possibility of special guest performances, exclusive merchandise, and unique
fan experiences during the tour. With Deftones’ ever-evolving sound, it’s safe to say that their reunion tour will be a
one-of-a-kind event that no fan will want to miss.
Dates and Locations
While the full tour schedule has not been released yet, Deftones has announced a teaser list of cities they plan to
visit. Major stops include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, London, and Tokyo, with more cities expected to be
added to the itinerary. Fans are encouraged to sign up for early access to tickets, as Deftones’ live shows are
legendary for selling out quickly.
Why 2026?
The question on everyone’s mind: Why now? The year 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Deftones’ formation, and
many believe this milestone is the perfect moment for the band to reflect on their journey and celebrate their loyal
fanbase. In a statement, guitarist Stephen Carpenter shared, “This tour is more than just about playing our music.
It’s about acknowledging everything we’ve been through and where we are now. We’ve grown so much, and we want
to share that growth with the world.”
A New Chapter for Deftones
As fans eagerly await the full announcement, the 2026 reunion tour marks a new chapter for Deftones, who continue
to be at the forefront of genre-defying music. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to their unique sound, this
reunion tour promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Deftones’ 2026 reunion tour is sure to be one of the most talked-about events in rock music, and anticipation is
already building to see what the band has in store for their fans. Stay tuned for more updates, ticket information, and
