The Backspin HQ Perspective
Backspin was at Rogers Arena in Vancouver in August 2025 when Deftones opened their last North American tour, which we covered in our recap of the Vancouver show. We also reported the band's 2025 North American tour announcement when it first went public.
The 2027 route leans on outdoor amphitheatres and pavilions, with the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Forest Hills Stadium in Queens as the marquee stops. Toronto is the only Canadian date and the last show of the run. Vancouver is not on the announced routing.
The May 14 date in Salt Lake City is Kilby Block Party, a festival at Utah State Fairpark. JamBase reported in October that Deftones are among its initial 2027 headliners alongside The Strokes and Jungle. Consequence also notes the band recently headlined its own Dia de los Deftones festival in San Diego.
