Deftones announce 2017 Gore European tour
Deftones to tour Europe and UK in April and May next year, in support of latest album Gore

Deftones have announced a European tour in support of latest album Gore.
They’ll play Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Nethelands, Belgium, England and Scotland during April and May next year.
The follow-up to 2012’s Koi No Yokan was released in April 2016, after guitarist Stephen Carpenter struggled to align himself with the band’s musical direction.
Frontman Chino Moreno recently discussed his attitude to playing live, saying: “After the first song-and-a-half, if everything is working out, there’s this overwhelming joy and feeling, like, ‘I can’t be messed with now.’
“Even if something does go wrong, I’m on a forward trajectory. I look back and think, ‘Wow – we’ve been doing this for 20 something years.’
“That’s well over half of my life that I’ve been entertaining people with my voice.”
Tour tickets go on sale at 9am BST on October 28. Full dates can be seen below.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
