Deftones Announce Summer 2020 Tour With Gojira + Poppy

The warmer months are the best time of year to see live shows, and this coming summer just got even better. Deftones have announced a 2020 tour with Gojira and Poppy.

The tour begins on July 27 and will come to a close on Sept. 5, making 20 stops between the U.S. and Canada.

Deftones confirmed they were finishing up their next studio album over the fall, and that it will be out sometime this year. The new record will be the ninth full length effort from the experimental group and first since issuing Gore in 2016.

Meanwhile, Gojira returned to the studio at the beginning of fall once they were back from their run on Knotfest Roadshow with Slipknot and Behemoth and are working on their first record since Magma was released four years ago.

Poppy, who recently released I Disagree, her first metal-leaning album and third overall, is currently headlining her own tour, spreading her "post-genre" message and music. With a thunderous, riff-heavy set, she fits right in on this bill.
