Deftones have teamed up with Pitchblack Playback to host listening parties for the band’s new album Private Music this week in select cities.
The events will take place across three days in major cities around the world: August 19th (Amsterdam and Mexico City); August 20th (Los Angeles, London, Melbourne, New York City, Sydney, Toronto, and Vancouver); and August 21st (Berlin and Paris). Limited tickets are available via Pitchblack Playback.
Fans will be able to experience the new album for the first time over a “premiere sound system” in a darkened room “with no distractions,” as stated in a Deftones newsletter. Pitchblack Playback has hosted similar immersive listening experiences around the world since 2016, presenting classic albums and new releases in sensory-deprivation type environments.
Those who can’t make it to the aforementioned cities will only have to wait a little longer to hear the new record, which drops Friday (August 22nd). The album was recorded with producer Nick Raskulinecz in Malibu and Joshua Tree, as well as Nashville, Tennessee.
To support the LP, Deftones are launching their North American tour on release day. The summer trek kicks off in Vancouver and runs through a September 19th show in Atlanta (get tickets here).
