Deftones at Madison Square Garden

Deftones

The mighty Deftones have proven themselves to be one of the most durable bands from the great '90s nu-metal surge, spending the last two decades relentlessly touring, releasing new albums, and continually evolving their sound to keep fans engaged and inspired. In 2025, they're hitting the road again for their first tour since 2022, with The Mars Volta and Fleshwater as support!

The Blood Brothers at Irving Plaza

Seattle post-hardcore cult legends The Blood Brothers reunite this year, touring in celebration of 20 years since the release of Crimes.

Coal Chamber at Palladium Times Square

Coal Chamber

Nu Metal is back and better than ever with fan favorites Coal Chamber reuniting once more. The self-proclaimed spooky-core band are heading out on the Fiend for the Fans tour and are bringing metal legends Fear Factory along for the ride. Expect to hear your favorite classics including Loco, I. O. U. Nothing, and more!

Buckethead at Sony Hall

Buckethead

Legendary guitarist Buckethead is heading out on tour! Real name Brian Patrick Carroll, Buckethead has spent his whole onstage career behind a Halloween inspired mask, with a KFC bucket perched on his head. His ominous appearance has created an almost mystical aura around him, backed up by his transcendently good guitar playing, blending metal, blues and prog with stunning effect.
