It’s always a wild ride when the Deftones take the stage in their native Northern California.
See what we mean when the experimental metal act — which rose out of Sacramento to superstardom in the second half of the ’90s following the release of the debut “Adrenaline” — performs two big local shows on its 2025 tour.
First up, the Deftones — featuring vocalist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, drummer Abe Cunningham and keyboardist/turntablist Frank Delgado – perform a huge homecoming show on March 1 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
A few nights later, the Grammy-winning troupe hits Chase Center in San Francisco on March 4.
Showtime is 7 p.m. Deftones tickets start at $46 (subject to change), ticketmaster.com.
At the time of this writing, the Deftones’ most recent album was 2020’s “Ohms.” Yet, that distinction could well change in the near future — if, indeed, it hasn’t already changed by the time you’re reading this — given that the group has been hard work in the studio in preparation of dropping its hotly anticipated 10th full-length record.
So, fingers crossed that fans will get to hear some cool new cuts alongside all those Deftones classics (“Change (In the House of Flies), “My Own Summer (Shove It”),” etc.) during the Sacramento and San Francisco shows.
