Deftones spark new music excitement with cryptic hint

Deftones might just be planning more after their Crystal Palace show.

After the popular alternative metal icons pulled out of the 2025 Glastonbury performance due to a health issue, they earned their fans’ praise during the London show on Sunday.

The Digital Bath hitmakers are currently the talk of the town as after their show, where they performed a string of hits such as Tempest, Rocket Skates, Rosemary and Genesis, they displayed a message on the video screen.

In the image, which has spread across social media, shows the words “Private Music” followed by a date in roman numerals, mentioning new music.

The date read X.VII.MMXXV, making two possibilities; it could either be July 10 2025, or if seen with respect to how the United States mentions dates with the pattern: month before the day, it could mean new music could drop on October 7 2025.

Any release of new material whether a single or an entire album, would come five years after the release of Deftones’ last album, Ohms, which was released in 2020 and peaked at number five on the UK album charts as well as Billboard after its launch.

Currently, the band is completing their ongoing Europe tour, with their final show being on July 6 followed by a break after which they would kick off the North American leg on August 22.

The gap could give room for Deftones to potentially release new material as well as rehearse it and include it in their tour.
