About Dia De Los Deftones 2026
Dia De Los Deftones is the band's own festival, back for a seventh year at Petco Park on November 7. One day, two stages, nine acts, and a lineup that only makes sense as a list of things Deftones like.
That means Converge's metalcore and AFI's horror punk sitting next to Bktherula's rap and Jehnny Beth of Savages, with The Neighbourhood covering the moody pop end and Ladrones, Lip Critic and LustSickPuppy filling out the noisier corners. Short bill, no clashes, which is a rarer pleasure than it sounds.
Expect alt-metal, shoegaze-metal, horror punk and post-hardcore across 9 acts.

Dia De Los Deftones 2026 lineup & schedule: all 9 acts
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre.
The band that turned metalcore into an art form, Jacob Bannon screaming over Kurt Ballou's guitar for three decades.
MetalcoreHardcore
Monochrome California moodiness: 'Sweater Weather' and a decade of slow-burn alt-pop, reunited for a generation that streamed them into legend.
Alt-rockDark pop
Hardcore kids who became goths and then a genuinely huge rock band, with Davey Havok's full-commitment melodrama riding a catalog that runs from East Bay punk to 'Miss Murder'-era anthems.
Horror punkPost-hardcore
LustSickPuppy
Jungle/drum'n'bass
Brooklyn band with two drummers and a sampler, firing hardcore-punk shouting over chopped, rave-speed electronic beats.
Alternative
Ladrones
Rock
The Savages frontwoman solo, bringing total physical commitment, an unblinking stare, and songs that treat intensity as the point rather than the garnish.
Post-punkArt rock
Bktherula
The headliners
Deftones · The band that dragged heaviness toward dream-pop: Chino Moreno's croon-to-scream over guitars tuned for atmosphere as much as impact. The reason this exists, playing to a home crowd.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Lip Critic · Two drummers and two samplers, and far heavier live than on record.
Other acts worth planning around
The Neighbourhood · 'Sweater Weather' and a catalogue moodier than that suggests.
AFI · Three decades of horror punk turned goth-pop.
Converge · Still the loudest, most precise band in metalcore.
Jehnny Beth · The voice of Savages, solo and unnerving.
