Stephen Carpenter is back with Deftones after a hiatus from playing shows with the band due to sudden illness due to believing in anti-vax ideology aand other conspiracies with developing a fear of traveling from the 2020 covid-19 pandemic and beyond, stating in a interview with rock feed,
"Consider the last 4 years we've all been through, how that might effect your choices today? Considered the effect of losing your best friend to a car accident. Consider Boeing? Whatever it might be, after touring for 30+ years I think anyone's got a right to make their own choices and not be slandered by their own people so to speak."
But now according to the Sol Invicto Instagram, Stephen will be now playing Dia de Los Deftones.
Tickets to the annual festival are available now.
