    “The SatchVai band rides again! After a fantastic European tour last summer Steve [Vai], Kenny [Aronoff], Marco [Mendoza], Pete [Thorn] and I will bring the ‘Surfing With The Hydra’ tour to the U.S. We can’t wait to play you the new material from our forthcoming SatchVai album along with your favorite songs from our shared catalog. And that’s not all, we’re bringing along the incomparable Animals As Leaders. You do not want to miss this show with this lineup!”

    Vai added:

    “The SatchVai band summer Euro tour of 2025 far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Joe and I struck pure jammin’ gold night after night. Being in the same band with Joe, playing songs we actually wrote together on stage, in real time felt like watching a childhood fantasy step out of my teenage brain and stroll onto the stage. And somehow, it was even more rewarding, satisfying, and downright fulfilling than I ever thought possible.”

    “After 3 sold out shows, we have been invited back to Russia for an arena tour. See you all in March! Thank you for so many great memories already and more to come”

    The band’s decision to tour in Russia has been decisive due to the country’s invasion of Ukraine. However, the group are no strangers to controversy.

    Frontman Tim Lambesis recently launched a new version of the band following a 2024 mass exodus that saw everyone exit the group except him. The controversial vocalist, who previously served prison time for trying to hire a hitman to kill one of his former wives, was left in that position after footage of him engaging in altercations with his latest wife and their dog surfaced online. The band have since returned to the stage with the new lineup having debuted in Russia.

  • Deftones Sponsor Youth Soccer Team In Sacramento, CA

    Deftones have sponsored a youth soccer team called Los Jaguares. Notably, the squad are from Oak Park, the same Sacramento, CA neighborhood where the band grew up.

    Deftones commented:

    “We’ve teamed up with Goal Projects to sponsor a youth soccer team from our hometown in Sacto. We designed some custom jerseys and a soccer ball that will become part of the kids’ official kits in the new year.

    Sales of the collection support Los Jaguares, a team of boys and girls ages 11-14 from oak park – the same neighborhood that shaped us. Every order helps keep soccer free for the kids and supports programs that help them on and off the field.

    limited quantities available now | shopdeftones.com

    They also added:

    “Los Jaguares represent an underserved community in one of California’s lowest-income districts. For these athletes, soccer is a vital source of pride and community, as reflected in their rallying cry: ‘Who are we? Familia.’

    When we heard about this group of kids growing up in our hometown in need of support, we jumped at the opportunity. Soccer and music are both about connection and expression, and having a strong community that nourishes this during developmental years is so important. We’re stoked to be able to give back and make a positive change in their lives, and our hope is to encourage them to continue pursuing their dreams despite any odds.”
