Typically, there’s a really skinny line between a music competition and only a common live performance with quite a lot of openers. However that’s okay when the headliner is Deftones. Alt-metal heroes Deftones introduced the lineup for this 12 months’s version of their very own mini-festival, Dia De Los Deftones, which will probably be held in Petco Park in San Diego, California on November 2. It’s obtained plenty of actually good and numerous acts this 12 months, and at the very least certainly one of them comes as a little bit of a shock.
One of many massive names listed for the competition is British art-punk band Idles, who’ve been using excessive off the current launch of their album Tangk in February. Rising hardcore act Gel will probably be enjoying, as nicely. There’s additionally Paris Texas, which appears to be referring to the Los Angeles hip-hop duo and never the long-defunct pop-punk band of the identical identify that I discovered on a fast Wikipedia search.
However, whereas a really numerous lineup of various genres is considerably in conserving Deftones’ general vibe and their eclectic metallic type, one act on the invoice stands out as actually shocking: emo legends Sunny Day Actual Property, who solely simply reunited in 2022. What’s extra, SDRE will probably be enjoying their debut LP, 1994’s Diary, in its entirety, an album that’s typically stated to be one of many defining information of emo’s second wave. That’s a really completely different band from Deftones and it’s a reasonably large get for any competition. The truth is, it’s most likely solely as a result of the present is being billed as a competition that they had been capable of get Sunny Day Actual Property. They’re a bit too massive to be a Deftones opener.
Right here’s what they needed to say on the competition’s official Instagram account:
“Our fifth annual #DiaDeLosDeftones returns to San Diego on Nov 2, 2024. We’re actually excited for this 12 months’s lineup: IDLES, Sunny Day Actual Property (performing Diary in its entirety), HEALTH, Paris Texas, Duster, Gel, and Qendresa will probably be becoming a member of us for this 12 months’s celebration of music and tradition.
