Deftones have added a final date to their near sold-out 2026 Australia and New Zealand tour, due to overwhelming demand.
The multi-Platinum Grammy Award winning band have built one of alternative rock music’s most devoted followings, and clearly that love extends to Australia and New Zealand, with three of their original six shows already sold out.
Overwhelming demand for tickets has seen a second date added for Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The band has noted this is the final date to be added to the tour.
The tour kicks off in Sydney with two shows at Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, May 2nd, and Sunday, May 3rd, before the Sacramento band head to Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, May 6th, and now also on Thursday, May 7th.
Tickets to the new Brisbane show go on sale at 11am (local) today (Decemmber 4th). See here for details.
They’ll then play two shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th, and wrap in in New Zealand at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, May 13th.
The band will be supported by Ecca Vandal and Interpol across all dates.

Deftones’ culture is revered as one of the most fervent that exists, a sonic outlier whose originality and culture prove peerless. Formed by hometown friends out of Northern California in 1988, the band have delivered a succession of seminal releases, sold over 10 million records globally, gathered 10 billion-plus streams, and inspired generations.
Their catalog encompasses 2000’s RIAA certified twice-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 (20200. 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.
In 2025, they released their 10th full-length LP, Private Music via Warner Records. It signals yet another artistic peak and once more affirms Deftones are forever.
