Deftones – have announced a summer show at Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin

Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones have announced a summer show at Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin on August 25th 2026, with special guests IDLES. This announcement comes ahead of the band’s sold-out performance in Dublin’s 3Arena on February 16th, 2026.

Deftones’ culture is revered as one of the most fervent that exists—a GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum sonic outlier whose originality and culture prove peerless. Formed by hometown friends out of Northern California in 1988, the Sacramento band have delivered a succession of seminal releases, sold over 10million records globally, gathered over 10 billion-plus streams, and inspired generations. Their catalog encompasses 2000’s RIAA certified 2X-Platinum White Pony—which earned the group’s first GRAMMY®—as well as the RIAA Platinum-certified Diamond Eyes [2010], Koi No Yokan [2012], and Ohms [2020]. The latter marked their fourth Top 5 debut on the Billboard 200. Their world also notably includes the annual Dia De Los Deftones, an immersive full-day festival experience of music and culture curated and headlined by the band at San Diego’s Petco Park for six iterations so far. In 2025, they released their 10th full-length LP, private music [Warner Records]. It signals yet another artistic peak and once more affirms Deftones are forever.
