Deftones to Rock London's O2 Arena with 2026 UK Tour Show
London's iconic O2 Arena is set to host the Grammy Award-winning metal rock band Deftones this week, as they kick off their highly anticipated 2026 UK tour in the capital. Following the success of their 10th studio album, Private Music, released last year, the Sacramento-based group will perform at the North Greenwich venue this Friday, February 20.
Stage Timings and Event Details for Deftones at O2 Arena
Fans eager to catch Deftones live can expect a night of intense music and energy. According to the O2 Arena website, doors will open at 6:30 PM for the Friday night show. While standing ticket holders may want to arrive early to secure a prime spot in the pit, those with seated tickets can take a more relaxed approach.
The concert is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM, featuring two opening acts to warm up the crowd. The first support act, Drug Church, will perform early in the evening, followed by Denzel Curry, who is expected to take the stage around 7:55 PM.
Deftones' Performance and Expected Finish Time
Deftones themselves are confirmed to hit the stage at approximately 9:15 PM. The band's set will showcase tracks from their latest album along with fan favorites from their extensive catalog. Weekday events at the O2 Arena typically conclude by 10:30 PM, with no shows running past 11:00 PM, so attendees can anticipate the concert wrapping up around this time.
This performance marks Deftones' return to London after a massive outdoor show at Crystal Palace Park last summer. Additionally, the band is slated to headline Outbreak Fest at All Points East in Victoria Park this August, further solidifying their presence in the city's live music scene.
For fans planning their evening, it's advisable to check the O2 Arena's official channels for any last-minute updates or changes. With a lineup that promises high-energy performances from both the headliners and support acts, this Deftones show is poised to be a memorable event for metal and rock enthusiasts across London.
