Heavy-rock icons Deftones will co-headline Family Values Tour this summer with their friends Korn. This year's event will cover 30 cities across North America and will also feature a second stage with artists to be announced shortly. Other main stage artists will include Stone Sour, Flyleaf and Dir en grey.

This Thursday, May 18, each of the main stage bands will perform their own special free show in four separate U.S. cities as an added bonus to fans in advance of the tour: Korn in Chicago, Stone Sour in Kansas City and Flyleaf in Spokane. Deftones will play Caesar Chavez Park in their hometown of Sacramento. Stay tuned to local media and check the websites for complete details.
