Día de los Deftones Returns to Petco Park for Year Seven

Deftones are throwing their party again. The seventh annual Día de los Deftones lands at Petco Park in San Diego on November 7, 2026, and as always, the band put together a lineup that flat out refuses to sit in one lane.

If you've been to one of these, you know the deal. Día de los Deftones is never just a metal show or just an alt show. It's whatever Deftones feel like putting in a room together, and that is exactly what makes it one of the best curated days of the year.

The lineup

Joining Deftones at the top are The Neighbourhood and AFI, which already tells you the range here. The Neighbourhood bring the moody alt-pop side, AFI bring decades of punk and goth rock, and then it gets really interesting. Converge are on the bill, which is massive for anyone who came up on metalcore and hardcore. Jehnny Beth of Savages brings her post-punk intensity, Ladrones add punk straight out of Puerto Rico, Lip Critic bring chaotic electronic energy, BKTHERULA reps the rap side, and Lustsickpuppy round it out with their hardcore-meets-electronic mayhem.

Here's the full bill: Deftones, The Neighbourhood, AFI, Converge, Jehnny Beth, BKTHERULA, Ladrones, Lip Critic and Lustsickpuppy.

Why this one hits different

That spread, alt-metal next to hardcore next to rap next to post-punk, is the whole point. Past years have thrown Clipse, Rico Nasty and Deafheaven on the same day, and it always works because Deftones have spent their entire career living between genres. A festival that can go from The Neighbourhood to Converge in one afternoon is basically the Deftones discography turned into a lineup.

Tickets

Día de los Deftones goes down November 7, 2026 at Petco Park in San Diego. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the Petco Park event page. If you've somehow slept on this one the last six years, year seven is the time to fix that. Don't wait on it.
