Deftones Tour 2026

Heavy, hypnotic and worth staying back for.

Deftones return to Sydney in May 2026 for their first headline arena run down under in nearly a decade, bringing Interpol and Ecca Vandal with them for two huge nights at Qudos Bank Arena. Few bands have held onto their own lane quite like Deftones. Across albums like White Pony, Around the Fur, Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan, they have built a sound that feels both crushing and atmospheric, with songs such as Change (In the House of Flies), My Own Summer (Shove It) and Sextape still hitting hard years later. For Sydney fans, this is the kind of show that does not come around often.

Why stay at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport for Deftones

A Deftones show tends to leave a mark. It is loud, immersive and the sort of night that makes a long trip home feel like the least appealing part of the plan.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives you a better way to do it. With 252 refurbished rooms, Biggles Bar & Grill for dinner or drinks before the show, Sirocco for breakfast the next morning, plus 24-hour in-room dining, a gym and sauna, the hotel gives the night somewhere comfortable to start and somewhere easy to return to. If you are staying in Sydney for Deftones concert this April, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport is an easy place to land once the night is done.

How to get to Accor Stadium

• By train: From Mascot Station, travel toward Lidcombe and change for the Olympic Park service. Olympic Park Station is the closest station to Qudos Bank Arena, with a short, signposted walk from the platform to the venue. Allow around 45 to 55 minutes, depending on connection times. For live timetables and event-night service updates, check Transport NSW before you leave.
• By rideshare or taxi: Pick-up is available from the hotel entrance, and the drive to Qudos Bank Arena usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. This can be a simple option if you want a direct trip across to Sydney Olympic Park.
• Driving and parking: Parking is available throughout Sydney Olympic Park, but demand can be high on major event nights. If you are planning to drive, check parking options in advance and allow extra time on arrival.
