“They Never Thought This Would Happen”: Deftones and U2 Announce the Waves & Wires Tour That’s About to Redefine Live Music

Deftones and U2 are set to collide in one of the most unexpected and electrifying live collaborations in recent memory with the announcement of the Waves & Wires Tour. Blending Deftones’ atmospheric heaviness with U2’s anthemic, emotionally charged soundscapes, the tour promises a sonic experience that bridges generations, genres, and global fanbases. This isn’t just a co-headlining run—it’s a carefully crafted journey built on contrast, connection, and pure live intensity.

Fans can expect a setlist that moves fluidly between distortion and clarity, intimacy and scale. Deftones will bring their signature wall-of-sound moments, haunting melodies, and raw emotion, while U2 delivers towering choruses, spiritual depth, and stadium-sized energy. Together, the bands aim to create nights where silence, feedback, and melody intertwine, turning each venue into a shared emotional pulse.

The Waves & Wires Tour will span major cities across North America and Europe, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Toronto, London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Milan, and Madrid. Each stop is designed to feel immersive, with cutting-edge visuals, cinematic lighting, and production that reflects the tour’s theme of connection through sound—organic and electric, human and amplified.

The official kickoff for the Waves & Wires Tour is set for June 12, 2026, with full ticket details and additional dates expected to follow shortly after the initial reveal, marking 2026 as a landmark year for fans of both Deftones and U2.
