“On its two stages, Dia De Los Deftones showcases artists across the spectrum of culture, encompassing hip-hop, electronic, indie, alternative, and metal,” a press release reads.
“Inviting complete immersion and an inimitable experience, its concourse comprises art installations, immersive activations, local vendors, exclusive merchandise, and more. After four prior sold out installments, it has emerged as a celebrated annual tradition for Deftones and the greater Southern California community.”
Dia De Los Deftones celebrates Día de los Muertos (Day Of The Dead) which is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.
Speaking previously about the event, Moreno explained: “We take a ton of pride in curating it; it’s a chance for us to put forth and showcase some artists that we love and respect, and putting on an amazing day of music and culture for our fans.”
Last year’s edition saw the likes of 100 Gecs, Knocked Loose, Doechii, Pinback, Pieri, Rile and Capra perform.
