Deftones have announced a major North American tour for May and June 2027, marking their return to large-scale live performances with a headline show at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl. The Sacramento band will be joined by support acts Knocked Loose and julie throughout the 23-date run, which includes festival appearances and amphitheater stops across the continent.
According to JamBase, the tour begins May 5, 2027, at Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion and concludes June 20 at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre. The routing includes both Northern and Southern California dates, with the Hollywood Bowl performance scheduled for May 18. This represents Deftones’ most significant North American tour since the release of their 2025 album “private music,” whose songs have become staples of their live set.
Tour Details and Ticketing Information
The 2027 itinerary includes major markets across the United States and Canada, with stops in Texas, the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and East Coast. As Grimy Goods reports, the band will also headline Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party on May 14 before returning to California for shows in Wheatland, Los Angeles, and Concord.
Multiple presale opportunities begin November 17, 2026, with general public sales starting November 19. The artist presale requires registration by November 15 and connects access directly to fans’ Ticketmaster accounts rather than using traditional codes. Additional presales include venue, VIP packages, and Live Nation options throughout November 18.
Southern California’s Premier Deftones Event
The Hollywood Bowl performance stands as the tour’s Southern California centerpiece, following the band’s successful two-night run at the Kia Forum during their previous Los Angeles visit. As Grimy Goods notes, demand for Deftones’ Southern California shows has historically been exceptionally high, with their last Forum appearance requiring a second date to accommodate fan interest.
The Hollywood Bowl show represents both a homecoming for the Northern California-born band and a milestone in their career trajectory. Playing the 17,500-capacity amphitheater signals Deftones’ continued relevance and drawing power decades into their career, particularly following their well-received Dia De Los Deftones festival in San Diego.
Ticket sales for all dates, including the Hollywood Bowl performance, begin with artist presales on November 17. Fans should prepare for high demand, particularly for the Southern California dates, and are advised to register for presale access well in advance of the November 15 deadline.
