Ball Arena became a sanctuary for heavy-music fans as Deftones headlined a night packed with genre-defying performances. To kick things off on September 15, the Barbarians of California unleashed a gritty, hardcore-infused set that immediately sent adrenaline surging through the crowd. Next, IDLES stormed the stage with explosive post-punk energy, igniting a frenzy of movement and cathartic release as fans collided in joyful chaos.
As the lights dimmed and anticipation peaked, Deftones emerged in a haze of moody visuals, commanding the stage with Chino Moreno’s haunting vocals and the band’s signature fusion of crushing riffs and ambient textures. The band tore through fan favorites like “Diamond Eyes” and “Change (In the House of Flies),” each song landing with emotional intensity and sonic precision. Ultimately, the night unfolded as a transcendent celebration of sound — where raw power met atmospheric beauty, and every moment resonated with unforgettable force.
