I wrote this in the
Tour / Concerts section yesterday too, but will drop it here for anyone interested.
----03-03-18 Botanica Music Festival @ Six Flags, San Antonio TX This was a weird festival, but fun. It was the first year for it, and it was on Six Flags grounds right next to all the rides. They originally had it planned for two days, but it seems like some bands backed out, and they cut it back to just one day. It wasn't advertised very well. Deftones didn't even list it on their own website until like 4 days before the festival, so I was worried they might not make it.
I didn't care for most of the opening bands, and it was raining, so I showed up right before Deftones was scheduled to start. They were one of the Headliners, with that rapper Logic headlining some other stage. Alessia Cara and Bishop Briggs are cool though, so I am kind of kicking myself for missing them. Oh well.
Deftones put on a good show as always! High energy. Everyone sounded on point. Chino said they haven't seen each other for like 4 months, and they were happy to see everyone. According to their twitter, they got together a day early before the festival opened and rehearsed. Not much other talk between songs. Good set list! Might be the only time I've ever heard them play Lifter live, so it was a nice surprise. Minerva is always good!
And we had enough time to ride some roller coasters right after they played. No lines!
