Dia de los Deftones 2026

The 7th Annual Dia De Los Deftones – Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco… say it’s happening! The 7th Annual Dia De Los Deftones returns to Petco Park on Saturday, November 7, and Chino and company have stacked the day with The Neighbourhood, AFI, Bktherula, Jehnny Beth, Converge, Ladrones, Lip Critic, and LustSickPuppy, the sets bouncing between two stages. The band hand-picks every act, which is why this is the most genre-scrambled day at the ballpark all year. Get there early. The undercard is the point. It’s sold out, but fans are still buying and selling tickets on the fan-to-fan exchange.

The Lineup

Jump to: Deftones | The Neighbourhood | AFI | Bktherula | Jehnny Beth | Converge | Ladrones | Lip Critic | LustSickPuppy

Deftones – The Sacramento alt-metal mainstays and festival hosts. The Deftones are Chino Moreno, keyboardist Frank Delgado, guitarist Stephen Carpenter and drummer Abe Cunningham. Their 10th album, Private Music, came out in 2025 and drew a five-star review from NME.

The Neighbourhood – Formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011, The Neighbourhood built a moody blend of alternative rock, dark pop and hip-hop aesthetics. Best known for the inescapable “Sweater Weather,” the band, fronted by Jesse Rutherford, ended a five-year album drought in November 2025 with (((((ultraSOUND))))), and its single “Hula Girl” climbed into the Top 20 at alternative radio. They’re in the middle of The Wourld Tour, their first world tour in a decade, which runs into December.

AFI – A Fire Inside formed in Ukiah, California, in 1991 and broke into the mainstream with 2003’s platinum Sing the Sorrow and 2006’s chart-topping Decemberunderground (home of “Miss Murder”). The long-running lineup is vocalist Davey Havok, drummer Adam Carson, bassist Hunter Burgan and guitarist Jade Puget. They wrapped a North American tour behind their latest album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, this spring.

Bktherula – Atlanta rapper and singer Brooklyn Rodriguez makes genre-bending, experimental rap that drifts between cloud rap, raw aggression and ethereal R&B. She broke out with 2019’s “Left Right,” released her fourth album, Lucy, in 2025, and this year joined Denzel Curry and A$AP Ferg in the rap supergroup The Scythe. Her May single “I Go Punk,” made with producer Whethan, is about as on-brand for this festival as it gets.

Jehnny Beth – French musician and actress Camille Berthomier, best known as the commanding frontwoman of the English post-punk band Savages. Her solo work, beginning with 2020’s acclaimed To Love Is to Live, pairs industrial intensity with cinematic scope. Her latest album, You Heartbreaker, You (2025), features Joe Talbot of IDLES, a past Dia De Los Deftones act, and Romy Madley Croft of The xx. If she looks familiar, she’s also in the Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall.

Converge – Formed in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1990, Converge are pioneers of metalcore and mathcore, fusing the aggression of hardcore and metal with jazz-like rhythmic complexity. Their 2001 album Jane Doe is widely regarded as a genre classic. The band is vocalist Jacob Bannon, guitarist Kurt Ballou, bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller. They’re coming off a monster 2026: Love Is Not Enough in February (their first non-collaborative album in nine years) and Hum of Hurt in June. Two full albums in four months.

Ladrones – A Guadalajara, Mexico band fusing metal, hip hop and regional Mexican music into a self-described “Flow Pesado.” Featuring vocalists Zxmyr and Cirujano Resendez, the group sings in Spanish, signed with Rise Records this year and released its third album, Arriba La L, in August. They’re spending the fall opening for Polyphia across the U.S. and Canada, so expect a band that shows up road-tight.

Lip Critic – A Brooklyn electro-punk band on Partisan Records, built around two drummers, samplers and vocals. Their 2024 debut Hex Dealer earned widespread critical acclaim, and their 2026 concept album Theft World pushes their abrasive, danceable chaos even further. The concept came from real life: frontman Bret Kaser had his identity stolen on tour, and the thief used it to buy, among other things, the band’s own discography.

LustSickPuppy – Brooklyn-born artist Tommy Hayes makes genre-defying, high-octane music that fuses digital hardcore with hip hop, breakcore and harsh noise. Known for ferocious, cathartic live shows, they self-produced their 2024 debut album Carousel from Hell.

Two Stages

The Padres have confirmed the same setup as last year: the main stage on the field and a second stage in Gallagher Square. Last year, Gallagher Square was open to every ticket holder from the main concourse.

View Seating Chart & Stage Setup.

Suites

Sold out doesn’t mean suites are gone. The Padres are selling shared suites at $212.50 a person (four-ticket minimum) and private suites starting at $2,450 for 12. Both come with a private restroom and a climate-controlled lounge, which matters more than usual if it rains. Request suite info.

Will It Rain?

Probably not, but it has happened. In 2024 the weather was perfect all day, and then it started pouring right as Deftones came on. Fans who were there remember a delay of 20 minutes or so, and they still talk about it like it was the best part of the night. Last year stayed dry.

November is when San Diego’s rainy season starts, and Petco Park is open to the sky. Check the forecast the day before, and if there’s any chance at all, put a cheap poncho in your pocket. Even on a dry night, it cools off fast once the sun goes down, and sunset is around 4:50 that week. For forecast links and how rarely it actually rains at the ballpark, see our Petco Park weather guide.

What Can I Bring

Read up on the Petco Park bag policy for purses, backpacks, clear bags and more. Last year there was no re-entry and no outside water, not even factory-sealed bottles.
