Sacramento alt.metal stars Deftones have announced a massive London show for next year.

The band have been confirmed to headline Outbreak Fest in Victoria Park in East London on Sunday 23 August 2026, with support from Idles, Amyl & The Sniffers, Esdeekid, JPEGMAFIA, ¥øu$Uk€ ¥uk1mat$U, Basement, Wisp, Deafheaven and Show Me The Body.

An Amex ticket presale will kick off tomorrow (Wednesday, 12 November) at 10am, with an All Points East presale starting 24 hours later, before the general sale begins at the same time on Friday. More information is available from the All Points East website.

The announcement comes just five months after Deftones headlined their own one-day event in South London's Crystal Palace, and they'll return to the capital in February as part of their 2026 European tour, a schedule that also includes UK shows in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff.
