This is a ridiculous package. A few weeks ago, the Deftones announced another run across North America, but did not announce any openers. Today, it's been confirmed that the mighty djentlemen in Periphery will be filling that slot. While it may seem odd at first, the combo totally fits in this humble blogger's opinion. I'm curious to see the reaction Periphery will get from the Deftones faithful. One thing is for sure, they will be playing to hundreds (if not thousands) of new sets of ears every night, exposing their brand of metal, and for that we congratulate them. Here is the routing:
03/08 Atlantic City, NJ – House of Blues
03/09 New York, NY – Terminal 5
03/10 Montclair, NJ – Wellmont Theatre
03/12 Stroudsburg, PA – The Sherman Theatre
03/13 Norfolk, VA – The Norva
03/15 Charlotte, NC – Fillmore Charlotte
03/16 Myrtle Beach, SC – House of Blues
03/17 Atlanta, GA – The Tabernacle
03/19 Miami, FL -Fillmore Miami Beach
03/21 St. Petersburg, FL – Jannus Live!
03/22 Orlando, FL – Hard Rock Live
03/23 Mobile, AL – Soul Kitchen
03/25 Baton Rouge, LA – The Varsity Theatre
03/26 Corpus Christi, TX – Concrete Street Amphitheater
03/27 Pharr, TX – Pharr Entertainment Center
03/29 Austin, TX – ACL Live at the Moody Theater
03/30 Houston, TX – Bayou Music Center
In related news, Periphery posted a teaser of new material, calling it "Juggernaut."
