DEFTONES BRING THE 7TH ANNUAL DIA DE LOS DEFTONES BACK TO SAN DIEGO WITH AN ECLECTIC LINEUP AND A CELEBRATION OF MUSIC AND CULTURE

San Diego’s signature alternative music gathering is set to return this fall as Deftones announce the seventh edition of Dia De Los Deftones, taking over Petco Park on November 7 with one of the festival’s most diverse lineups to date.

Since its inception, the annual event has evolved beyond a hometown concert into a cultural experience that reflects the band’s wide-ranging influences and enduring impact on multiple generations of music fans. This year, Deftones will be joined by The Neighbourhood, AFI, Bktherula, Jehnny Beth, Converge, Ladrones, Lip Critic, and LustSickPuppy, creating a bill that spans alternative rock, post-hardcore, hip-hop, experimental music, and punk.

The 2026 edition will once again feature two stages, with the main performances taking place on the Petco Park field and a second stage hosted in Gallagher Square, offering fans an immersive day that celebrates both music and community.

For Deftones, Dia De Los Deftones has become more than an annual hometown event. It has established itself as one of Southern California’s most distinctive festivals, bringing together artists from different genres while reinforcing San Diego’s growing reputation as a destination for live music culture.

As anticipation builds, fans will have early opportunities to secure tickets beginning with the artist pre-sale on June 24 at 10 a.m. PT. General ticket sales will follow on June 26 at 10 a.m. PT, with email subscribers receiving first access to tickets and VIP packages. More information about tickets is available here. 

With a lineup that balances influential veterans with boundary-pushing newcomers, the seventh annual Dia De Los Deftones promises another unforgettable gathering and further solidifies the festival’s place as one of the most unique events on the alternative music calendar.
