Deftones fans, rejoice! The band has announced dates for a U.S. tour kicking off in March. Among the shows are rescheduled New York and Boston gigs, which had to be postponed due to Superstorm Sandy.
‘Koi No Yokan,’ the band’s seventh studio album, was released in November to much critical acclaim. In fact, it was named the No. 1 album of the year by Loudwire in our list of the 10 Best Rock Albums of 2012. The single ‘Leathers’ from the album garnered the No. 2 slot on our list of the 10 Best Rock Songs of 2012.

Deftones also made a strong showing in the nominations for the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards. They are up for the following awards: Rock Song of the Year (‘Leathers’), Rock Album of the Year (‘Koi No Yokan’), Rock Band of the Year and Vocalist of the Year (Chino Moreno).

The newly announced trek kicks off March 4 in Rochester, N.Y., and runs through March 30 show in Houston, Texas. Tickets go on sale Friday (Dec. 21).

Later on in 2013, Deftones are slated to play Ozzfest Japan. They will perform on May 11, the first day of the two-day festival, alongside bands such as Slipknot and Slash.
