Deftones – are set to return to arenas across EU and the UK in early 2026 in support of their forthcoming 10th studio album, including a stop off at Dublin’s 3Arena

Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones are set to return to arenas across Europe and the UK in early 2026 in support of their forthcoming 10th studio album, private music, out August 22, 2025 via Reprise/Warner Records. Pre-order the album HERE. 

The 2026 EU/UK Tour kicks off January 29 at the Adidas Arena in Paris. It includes 15 shows across major cities, including Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam, Manchester and Dublin, before wrapping at The O2 in London on February 20. Deftones will be joined by Denzel Curry and Drug Church as support across these dates. Full routing below.

The announcement follows the release of Deftones’ brand new single, “my mind is a mountain”, premiered by Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Radio show. Watch the episode HERE. The track gives fans a first glimpse into the sound and direction of private music, a record co-produced by the band and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, who previously collaborated with them on Diamond Eyes [2010] and Koi No Yokan [2012].

Recorded in California’s MalibuJoshua Tree, and in Nashville, Tennessee, private music sees Deftones continuing to push sonic and emotional boundaries. With the group’s unmistakable blend of heaviness and atmosphere, private music promises to be a landmark release in a career defined by fearless innovation.
