Deftones to Headline Taste Of Chaos Tour 2006

New Album Expected This Spring

Heavy rock iconoclasts Deftones will headline this year's Taste Of Chaos Tour which will be the loudest and best T.O.C. yet. Also joining the bill will be Story of the Year, Atreyu, Thrice, Thursday, As I Lay Dying, Dredg, Silverstein and Funeral For A Friend, making this one of the most exciting and anticipated multi-artist package tours of the year.

Deftones are currently putting the finishing touches on their new studio album and will take on this year's T.O.C. event, which will rumble through North America and Canada starting in San Diego February 16 and ending in Montreal April 15. See dates listed below. Details of new Deftones album will be revealed shortly.

For the past decade, Deftones have remained one of modern rock's most consistently innovative and influential musical forces: "The Deftones offered dark, cryptic ruminations with melodies arising out of the hard-rock murk. They're perfecting a new hard-rock variation." -- Jon Pareles/New York Times

"Like Metallica, Deftones make uncompromising music that crosses over while refusing to pander." -- Spin
