Deftones just announced their first batch of 2027 dates, and the support bill is doing half the talking. Knocked Loose plays every single show. Julie opens every single show. That's the announcement. Everything else is logistics.
THE BILL
Deftones with Knocked Loose as direct support is two completely different kinds of heavy sharing one stage, night after night. Deftones do the slow, loud, float on top of it thing better than anybody. Knocked Loose play like the stage owes them money. Putting those two energies in the same room for seven weeks is either genius booking or a controlled experiment, and I want a ticket to the experiment.
THE RUN
The tour starts May 5 at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas and ends June 20 at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto. In between there's the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 18, a Kilby Block Party set in Salt Lake City on May 14, Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on June 17, and Cincinnati's new Farmer Music Center on June 11. Twenty three dates total, all of it behind private music, the band's tenth album, which came out in August 2025.
“Knocked Loose play like the stage owes them money.”
Moe Train
Florida, I checked the list twice so you don't have to: there's no Florida date on this batch. The band is calling this the first batch of 2027 dates, so there's room for more, and I'm watching for it.
TICKETS
Artist presale starts Tuesday, November 17 at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation, and the general sale starts Thursday, November 19 at 10 a.m. local time through the band's site. Set the alarm now. Deftones rooms have not gotten easier to get into over the years, and this bill is going to move fast.
