Alternative metal titans Deftones are coming back to Charlotte on June 6 at Truliant Amphitheater, with Kentucky hardcore band Knocked Loose and Los Angeles trio julie.
The tour follows private music, Deftones’ 10th studio album and the 2025 follow-up to 2020’s Ohms. The record reunites the band with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who helmed 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan and is also known for his work with Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Rush and Evanescence. The album leans into both sides of Deftones, pairing some of their heaviest riffs in years with the hazy, cinematic textures that defined White Pony, Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan.
Knocked Loose, one of the most prominent acts in modern hardcore and metal, will bring their punishing metal sound, built around Bryan Garris’ piercing screams, to the city for the first time since 2021. Their 2024 album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, pushed their sound into darker, more experimental territory, was named Kerrang!’s album of the year, and spawned the single “Suffocate,” featuring Poppy, which earned the band its first Grammy nomination. This fall, they co-headlined a North American tour with Denzel Curry following the pair’s crossover collaboration “Hive Mind.”
Opener julie, formed in Orange County while the members were still in high school, first gained attention with the 2020 single “flutter,” which became a viral underground hit. Their 2024 debut album, my anti-aircraft friend, earned strong critical praise for its ’90s-inspired blend of shoegaze, grunge and noise rock, with distorted, fuzzed-out guitars and murky, half-buried vocals.
Presale begins Tuesday, November 17 at 10 a.m. with tickets going on sale to the public Thursday, November 19 at 10 a.m.
