Deftones at Footprint Center

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!

Apocalyptica at The Van Buren

Apocalyptica

It's been over 20 years since Apocalyptica first put forth their unholy alliance of metal and classical music in the form of debut album Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. The Finnish cello metal band formed with the intention of playing Metallica and other heavy metal band covers, but each subsequent release featured more and more original music until fourth album Reflections announced their fully-fledged status as original artists.

Judas Priest at Arizona Financial Theatre

Judas Priest is heading out on an extra special tour in 2024 to celebrate their new album 'Invisible Shield', the first in six years! Recently celebrating their 50th anniversary, this tour will see the five-piece perform some of their greatest hits as well as new material.

Opeth at The Van Buren

Opeth

The Swedish heavy metal gods return to North America for a special series of concerts.
