Deftones: Alternative metal giants announce more UK tour dates for 2026 - venues and tickets

• Deftones are set to return to the United Kingdom in 2026.
• The band will be visiting Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and London off the back of the release of their latest album, ‘Private Music’
• Here’s how you can get tickets to see the band live, as they drop their latest single, ‘my mind Is a mountain,’ earlier today.

With a brand new single out today and having stunned audiences during their visit to the United Kingdom late last month, Deftones have announced they’re going to do it all again with a four-date tour of the United Kingdom in February 2026.

The group, who sadly didn’t manage to perform at Glastonbury Festival this year but from all accounts made up for it with their Crystal Palace show in London, will be supported during the whistle-stop tour of the UK by Denzel Curry and Drug Church, with all three acts scheduled to perform in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, and return to the capital to complete proceedings.

The band had teased a new album of music when they last performed on our shores, and with Private Music now officially set for release on August 22, 2025 – their first album in five years – the group has offered a taste of what’s to come having dropped the first single from the album, 'my mind Is a mountain', on streaming services earlier today.

Here’s where you can catch the alternative metal giants in the UK in 2026, and when you can get tickets for the tour.
