With decades of material and experience to draw from, Deftones returned to the touring circuit to support the release of their 10th studio album, Private Music. The tour has seen the band visit bigger venues, with an innovative production and technical finesse courtesy of creative and technical suppliers.

Production Manager Tyrone Brunton welcomed TPi to Birmingham’s bp pulse LIVE, and following a recce of the venue, he shared an insight into the tour’s origins. “This process has evolved over a couple of years to get to where we are now, at arena level, and through the introduction of Matt Pitman, the further Pixelmappers team, and the wonderful vision from Chino and Velvet Hammer’s Mark Wakefield, the show has been elevated to the next level.”

Brunton described the crew working alongside him as “exceptional”. He elaborated: “A special thanks goes to our Stage Manager, Sean Brady. I never leave home on a tour without Sean – he goes above and beyond every day,” Brunton said. “A special mention also goes to Randall and Erik from PRG – those guys were a huge part of getting the tour across the line"
