Alternative metal band The Deftones have recently announced a series of 2020 tour dates, where they will be joined by the hard hitting act Gojira, and Poppy, who released a metal inspired project titled I Disagree. This tour will begin in Portland, Oregon at the end of July and will wrap up in Denver Colorado, during the first week of September.

The Deftones will be making a series of prominent festival appearances this year at events such as the INMusic festival and Welcome To Rockville. Band members have stated that new music should be on the way this year, and that they have been recording throughout the past year.

“We’ve been working on our record for about a year now,” the band’s frontman Chino Moreno said during a recent news interview. “We’re not doing that thing where we go in and lock ourselves in a room until it’s done; we are kind of enjoying our time making it.”

Gojira will also be releasing new music, and have teased work on an upcoming studio album during a recent post on their social media. This upcoming release will be their first album since the release of their Grammy-nominated sixth studio album Magma in 2016.

While Poppy may have began as an alternative pop/multimedia project, which began on the video platform YouTube, the artist’s sound has evolved with her latest album effort I Disagree. Tracks such as “Anything Like Me,” have taken inspiration from metal, while also adding something new to the genre, unique to Poppy’s own style.
