Deftones Are Coming Back to Ohio: Cincinnati and Pine Knob on Huge 2027 Tour
Deftones are going big in 2027 — and they’re coming back to Ohio. The alt-metal legends just announced a 23-date North American tour running May 5 through June 20, 2027, with Knocked Loose and julie along for the ride.
For Toledo fans, the dates to circle are June 8 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, and June 11 at The Farmer Music Center in Cincinnati. The run kicks off May 5 in Dallas, hits the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 18, and wraps June 20 at the RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto.
The tour supports the band’s Grammy-nominated 10th studio album, “private music,” which arrived in August 2025. It follows a huge 2025 arena run that sold out entirely, including Madison Square Garden.
Here’s the ticket timeline: artist presale registration is open now through Sunday, November 15, at 10 p.m. PT. The artist presale begins Tuesday, November 17, at 10 a.m. local time, and general on-sale starts Thursday, November 19, at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
Deftones have been on ToledoBuzz’s radar all month — the band recently played a song that “doesn’t exist” live for the first time since 2008. Read that story here: Deftones Just Played a Song That ‘Doesn’t Exist’ — Their Lost Album’s ‘Melanie,’ Live for the First Time Since 2008
