Deftones appear to be teasing the release of new music next week
Deftones appear to be on the cusp of releasing new music.
Before and after their concert at London's Crystal Palace Park on Sunday (June 29), the nu metal-era stars put a graphic on their video screens that mentioned new music and included the Roman numerals 'X.VII.MMXXV'.
The graphic could be a subtle tease towards the release of a new song on July 10. Alternatively, it could point to a new album coming out on October 7, although this is unlikely, as that date will be a Monday and albums are traditionally rolled out on Fridays.
The graphic, a picture of which was uploaded to the Deftones subreddit on Sunday and can be seen below, includes the phrase 'private music' and features a circle containing two curved lines. The same symbol can currently be found on the band's website.
Deftones released their last album, Ohms, in 2020 and are known to have been working on new music for a 2025 release date. In an interview with Billboard Español conducted in December 2024, frontman Chino Moreno said that their next album is 'getting very close to being ready'. He hoped to have a single out around the time of Deftones' February tour of North American with The Mars Volta, although the tour came and went without a new song.
Deftones are currently playing across Europe on a tour that wraps up on July 6. Their live schedule picks back up again with a North American run that kicks off on August 22, potentially giving the band time to release and rehearse new material between tours.
Though Deftones played London on Sunday without a hitch, the band dropped out of a slot at Glastonbury festival on Saturday, June 28. They cited health reasons for the last-minute cancellation. Onstage at Crystal Palace, Moreno confirmed that he was the band member affected by the health issue, but didn't clarify what the problem had been.
Deftones' next performance will be at Roskilde festival in Denmark on Wednesday, July 2.
Numerals are 10.7.2025. What do you reckon? 😮 from r/deftones

Birkin: The Bag, the Woman, the Myth
The world is in the throes of Birkin mania. This month the original Birkin bag, made by Hermès for the British actress Jane Birkin in 1984, sold for $10.1 million at Sotheby's in Paris. The way Ms. Birkin wore it, festooned with nail clippers and stickers for political causes, has led to its own slang: to 'Birkinify' one's bag. The omnipresent Labubu plush toys that fans like to hang on their bags are said to have been inspired by the way Ms. Birkin affixed eclectic trinkets to her Birkins. Riffs on the Hermés classic, the Boatkin, have become sought-after novelty items that fetch their own hefty prices. On social media, explainers proliferate on how to emulate Ms. Birkin's late 1960s, carefree, bourgeois-bohemian style, with sheer crocheted dresses and ballet flats. All of this is happening two years after her death on July 16, 2023, following a cancer diagnosis and more than a decade of treatment. She was a cult figure, particularly outside France, where she lived most of her life. Ms. Birkin, who was born in London, became a revered actress who appeared in more than 70 films and a musician whose most famous song, 'Je t'aime … moi non plus,' with Serge Gainsbourg, was a worldwide hit. It was banned by the Vatican for its lasciviousness, and Ms. Birkin responded that the pope was their best publicist. In 2023, the black-walled house on the Left Bank where the couple lived opened as a museum, and tickets to tour the residence sell out months in advance. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Free school holiday events for children planned
Free fun days and lunches for eligible children are planned across Bradford throughout the school holidays. Bradford Council said the days would help keep children, aged between five and 14, entertained and enable families to spend time together. The events will be held at 12 different locations in parks and green spaces and offer a range of free activities. Free packed lunches will be available for children who are eligible for benefit-related free school meals. The events are funded by the Department for Education's Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF). Each day will run between 11:00 and 15:00 and there is no need for families to book in advance, though children will be asked to register their name and school on arrival. Councillor Imran Khan, Bradford Council's executive member for education, employment and skills, said: "They're a great opportunity for children to get active and enjoy some free outdoor fun – and for families to spend time together in a relaxed and welcoming environment at no cost. "Children on free school meals can also get a free packed lunch, which we know is a big help to many who struggle with the costs of keeping children entertained during the long summer break from school." Details of when the events are taking place can be found on the council's website. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
