Deftones

American alt-rock pioneers Deftones fuse aggression, atmosphere and emotion into a sound that defies genre boundaries. Formed in Sacramento in the 1990s, the band gained acclaim for their dynamic mix of heavy riffs and ethereal textures on albums like Around the Fur and White Pony, featuring hits such as “Change (In the House of Flies)” and “My Own Summer (Shove It)”. Their music balances intensity with beauty, creating a unique emotional depth that sets them apart.

With acclaimed releases Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan and Ohms, Deftones continue to evolve while maintaining their signature sonic tension. Their live shows remain explosive and immersive, securing their place as one of the most innovative forces in modern rock.

SUPPORT

Interpol

New York post-punk band Interpol blend brooding intensity with sleek precision, crafting music that feels both urgent and timeless. Emerging from the early 2000s rock revival, they captivated audiences with their debut album Turn On the Bright Lights and singles like “Obstacle 1” and “Evil”. Their dark, atmospheric sound and sharp lyricism quickly made them leaders of the indie rock scene.

Albums Antics, El Pintor and The Other Side of Make-Believe showcase Interpol’s evolution while preserving their unmistakable mood and style. Known for commanding live performances and polished artistry, the band continues to influence a new generation of alternative musicians. Interpol remain a vital presence in modern post-punk and indie music.

SUPPORT

Ecca Vandal

South African-born, Melbourne-based artist Ecca Vandal delivers a fearless blend of punk, hip-hop and electronic energy. Bursting onto Australia’s music scene with tracks like “Broke Days, Party Nights” and “Future Heroine”, she built a reputation for raw power and creative freedom. Her self-titled debut album Ecca Vandal showcased her boundary-pushing sound and uncompromising vision.

Ecca’s performances radiate intensity, mixing sharp lyricism with high-voltage production and bold stage presence. Collaborations with artists like Dennis Lyxzén and Jason Aalon Butler reflect her diverse influences and genre-crossing spirit. With global tours and critical acclaim, Ecca Vandal continues to redefine alternative music with attitude, innovation and fearless authenticity.
