For almost 30 years, Deftones have been the soundtrack of my life. They are, to me, a band whose music is 'perfectly imperfect', resonating on a deeply personal level. The thought of experiencing them live, right here in Perth, Western Australia, fills me with excitement and anticipation. But the current 2026 tour does not include our beautiful city, leaving many fans like myself disheartened.

Perth is home to a vibrant and passionate music community. We've supported countless artists who have ventured to our corner of the world, and I believe Deftones owe it to their devoted Australian fanbase to extend their tour to include us. Just in the past years, numerous tours that initially overlooked Perth were highly successful upon adding our city to their itinerary, showcasing our enthusiasm and dedication.

Deftones' music transcends time, bringing people together through a shared love of their unique sound. By including Perth in their tour, Deftones can connect with fans who may have waited years for this opportunity. It's no secret that bringing Deftones to Perth would not only thrill their long-time followers but also introduce their phenomenal live presence to new audiences in Western Australia.

The logistics are feasible—Perth is well-equipped to host large-scale concerts, with venues such as RAC Arena offering exceptional sound and an atmosphere perfect for a Deftones experience. There’s potential for sell-out shows, amplifying Deftones' legacy and leaving a lasting impression on their Australian tour.

Let's make our voices heard and show Deftones the love and energy Perth can offer. I urge all fellow fans, music lovers, and residents of Perth to come together and sign this petition. Join us in inviting Deftones to make a memorable performance in Western Australia, ensuring Perth isn't left absent from their much-anticipated 2026 tour. Sign the petition to bring Deftones to Perth and let’s share the joy of live music with our beloved city.
