AceShowbiz - Rockers the Deftones have decided to delay their tour plans for a second time in an effort to ensure they can "make every date with confidence."
The band, fronted by Chino Moreno, had originally planned to kick off its first full U.S. summer tour since 2017 in Portland, Oregon in July 2020, but the COVID crisis forced the group to postpone the North American trek until this year (2021).
Now, due to continued uncertainty regarding the pandemic, the "Minerva" stars have announced they won't be hitting the road as planned in 2021, instead rescheduling the dates for April 2022.
"This is not an easy decision, but one we felt necessary," the Deftones members wrote in a statement. "Giving this tour a little more breathing room will give space to, and help ensure we can make every date with confidence.We can't thank you enough for your patience so far, and keeping with it just a bit longer [sic]."
In an additional statement they posted on Instagram, the band noted, "Thank you all for your patience and understanding. If you bought tickets for one of the 2021 shows and cannot make the rescheduled show, you will receive an email directly allowing you to request a refund."
"For more details, visit Livenation.com/refund (link in bio). Please hold on to existing tickets, as they will be honored for the 2022 dates," they continued in the caption of the post. "Tickets for the added dates (Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Nashville) go on sale Friday, 7/16 @ 10AM local at Deftones.com."
The Deftones will be supported by Gojira when they finally get to perform live for fans.
