Deftones to Headline All Points East X Outbreak Fest 2026

For its first ever collaboration with Outbreak Fest, All Points East has announced that alt-metal icons Deftones will headline the 2026 festival on Sunday 23 August.

Hailing from Sacramento, California, the multi-platinum GRAMMY Award-winning band are known for their blend of heavy metal and eclectic atmospheric elements, releasing their tenth studio album, private music, in 2025.

The annual festival is, yet again, showcasing the best of contemporary alternative music. It’s collaboration with the Outbreak Fest, which brought hardcore rock to Victoria park this summer, adds an undeniable punk-rock flavour to Sunday’s lineup.

The band is set to take over Victoria Park alongside the likes of UK post-punk outfit, IDLES, Aussie punk-rockers, Amyl and the Sniffers and Show Me The Body, who will bring their brand of sludge- metal to the stage.

Tickets on sale November 14th at 9am on the All Points East website
