Deftones Return With 2026 UK Tour and New Album 'Private Music'
Alright, let’s talk about something huge for music fans—especially if you’re into alternative metal. The Deftones are officially back with a vengeance. They’ve just announced a massive European and UK arena tour for 2026 in support of their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Private Music . Now, this isn’t just another tour—it’s a statement, a full-scale comeback with new material that already has fans buzzing.
Let me set the scene: the album drops on August 22, 2025, via Reprise/Warner Records, and just months later, starting January 29, 2026, they’re hitting 15 major cities across Europe and the UK. The tour kicks off at Adidas Arena in Paris and wraps up at London’s O2 Arena on February 20. And they’re not coming alone. Denzel Curry and Drug Church will be joining as special guests—so we’re looking at an intense lineup blending heavy, experimental energy from across genres.

Their first single from Private Music , titled “my mind is a mountain,” already premiered with Zane Lowe and has set the tone for what’s to come. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz—who also worked with them on Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan —this record promises to push boundaries both sonically and emotionally. They’ve recorded it in Malibu, Joshua Tree, and Nashville, which is already a vibe in itself.
Tickets are, unsurprisingly, a hot item. General sale went live on July 18, 2025, and Ticketmaster is leading the charge—though options are also available through Live Nation, AXS, and Seat Unique if you're looking for VIP hospitality packages. And let me tell you, those are worth a look if you want that extra experience—private suites, exclusive lounges, food, drinks... all of it.
If you're planning to get in, here’s some advice: be online at least 15 minutes early before tickets go live, have your login info ready, and maybe even open multiple tabs with different ticketing platforms. This tour will sell out fast, no doubt.
Deftones have been redefining alternative metal since the late '80s, and with albums like White Pony and Ohms , they’ve consistently evolved their sound. But Private Music feels like something special—a return, but also a reinvention. It blends the crushing heaviness fans crave with the dreamy, immersive atmospheres that make their music so distinct.
So whether you're catching them in Manchester, Glasgow, or at the iconic O2 Arena in London, one thing’s for sure—2026 is going to be a landmark year for Deftones fans. Don’t sleep on this. Get those tickets, pre-order the album, and get ready for what’s shaping up to be one of the most significant rock tours of the decade.
