DEFTONES To Headline Their Biggest-Ever UK Show For The Second Year In A Row

Deftones are set to take another major leap in their career, announcing their biggest-ever UK headlining show for the second consecutive year.

After performing for over 25,000 fans this past June at London’s Crystal Palace, the California alternative metal icons will return next summer to top that feat. On August 23rd, 2026, Deftones will take over Victoria Park in London for a massive one-day event presented by All Points East and Outbreak Festival — a venue that can host up to 50,000 attendees.

The band will be joined by a stacked lineup featuring:

IDLES, Amyl And The Sniffers, EsDeeKid, JPEGMAFIA, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Basement, Wisp, Deafheaven, and Show Me The Body, with additional acts still to be announced.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 14th at 9:00am GMT.

Alongside this landmark performance, Deftones will also embark on a European and UK arena tour early next year with Denzel Curry and Drug Church, kicking off January 29th in Paris and wrapping up February 20th at London’s O2 Arena.
