Deftones Play Deep Cuts at Dia De Los Deftones 2024

Deftones hosted their annual festival, Dia De Los Deftones, on Saturday (November 2nd) at Petco Park in San Diego.

Per tradition, the band closed the night with a headlining set of their own, playing staple favorites and some deep cuts that hadn’t been performed in a number of years, as well as the live debut of a cover song.

After opening with two Around the Fur classics, “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” and “My Own Summer (Shove It),” Chino Moreno and company busted out “Lhabia” (from that same album) for the first time since 2018. Later on, “Beauty School” and “Hexagram” were also played for the first time since ’18, plus another Around the Fur track “Rickets” for the first time since 2019.

The only live debut came in the form of their cover of Japan’s “Ghosts,” included on Deftones’ Covers compilation in 2011. That came about halfway through the 20-song set, which ended with an encore rendition of “7 Words.”

All in all, it appeared to be another successful edition of Dia De Los Deftones. Other acts — hand-picked by Deftones — on the festival bill included IDLES, Sunny Day Real Estate, HEALTH, Duster, GEL, Paris Texas, and Qendresa.

Deftones will now turn their concentration back to the follow-up to 2020’s Ohms. The alt-metal veterans have been in the studio working on the album, with an official announcement expected sometime next year.

The band also has a major North American headlining tour with support from The Mars Volta on the books for early 2024 (get tickets here).
