Deftones have announced their first run of Australian and New Zealand shows in nearly a decade
Deftones are heading Down Under in 2026 with a run of explosive headline arena shows, for the first time in nearly ten years.
The multi-Platinum Grammy Award winning band have built one of alternative rock music’s most devoted followings, blending raw power with cinematic intensity, and will treat Australian and New Zealand fans in May 2026.
Kicking off in Sydney with two shows at Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, May 2nd, and Sunday, May 3rd, the Sacramento band will then head to Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, May 6th, before two shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th. The tour will wrap in New Zealand at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, May 13th.
It’s happening. After nearly a decade away, Deftones are returning to Australasia for a long-awaited headline tour, with a one-night-only New Zealand stop at Spark Arena, Auckland on Wednesday 13 May 2026. They’re bringing two powerhouse guests with them: post-punk legends Interpol and genre-defying disruptor Ecca Vandal.
This is the kind of lineup that doesn’t just sell out, it makes fans rearrange their lives. Whether you’ve been clinging to your White Pony memories or vibing with their latest album private music, this show promises to hit every emotional nerve. Deftones aren’t just back, they’re still evolving, still loud, and still unmatched in atmosphere.
