Deftones to Headline Crystal Palace In June!
Deftones, the iconic GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band have announced their return to the UK next summer with a headline show at Crystal Palace Park, London on Sunday 29 June 2025, alongside special guests Weezer, High Vis, and more to be announced.
Deftones will host an artist pre-sale on Wednesday 6 November starting at 9AM (GMT) through to Friday 8 November at 9AM (GMT). General on sale begins at 9AM (GMT) on Friday 8 November via www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
Formed in Sacramento, CA in 1988, multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Deftones are one of the most influential alternative bands in the world. Comprised of Chino Moreno, Frank Delgado, Stephen Carpenter, and Abe Cunningham, the band has released nine studio albums – the most recent being GRAMMY®-nominated ‘Ohms’ – and have created a culture that is revered as one of the most fervent to ever exist. Deftones’ appearance at Crystal Palace Park marks what will truly be a special evening as the band make their first live appearance in the UK since 2022.
As one of the most popular groups to emerge in the post-grunge alternative rock aftermath, Weezer merge heavy power pop, angular guitar leads and melodies injected with doses of '70s metal. Their early singles turned into hits with immeasurable help from clever videos, and their quickly canonised 1994 debut ‘The Blue Album’ was followed by a more artistically than commercially motivated 1996 sophomore effort ‘Pinkerton’, which was adored by critics and set the tone for what became the band's long and winding career.
Also joining the line-up at Crystal Palace Park are UK Hardcore outfit High Vis, a band who fuse the fury of English street punk with touches of Brit pop melody, neo-psychedelia swirl, wiry post-punk rhythm, and even bits of Madchester groove.
Crystal Palace Park is London’s original outdoor concert venue, with previous performers including The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley and Pink Floyd. In 2024 the park played host to an array of scintillating and diverse talent including Skepta’s inaugural Big Smoke Festival, Bloc Party and The National. Fast-forward to 2025 and the park will also play host to a sold-out headline show from Rüfüs Du Sol in July, with even more brilliant day shows still to be announced.
Tickets go on general sale at 9AM on Friday 8 November 2024 via www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
