Hoping they'll add a couple of Gore songs for London so it'll be something new for me, but it'll be an awesome show nonetheless.
I'm honestly very curious to see what the setlist will be in years. I don't have a clue…
I just can't imagine a hardcore metal Deftones while we are seated. I would prefer a chill setlist, let Frank step his game
Think this will be one their best performances ever or just the most shitty one.
It's technically seated, but not really. There are seats but it says on the site that they recommend everyone to stand (presumably because they know people will be standing regardless). Not quite the same as having a mosh pit and stuff, but still...try and stop the hardcore metal fans from moshing, I'm sure seats won't stop them, haha.
I've only ever seen Deftones from seats. I have health problems so I'm not really able to do the whole moshing thing, and I'm tiny so I'd probably get knocked around easily. I didn't have a problem with it until I saw another band, a post-hardcore one, from right in front of the stage, and it was the best musical experience of my life. So next time they play at a venue with a standing area, I'm definitely trying it.
To be honest, I can't imagine them playing a typical festival setlist where they play their most popular/routine songs. At festivals it's about getting new fans I guess (at least part of it), but with this festival you pay for the acts you want to see, so I assume everyone going to see Deftones is already a fan, so a festival setlist isn't needed.
