Ghosts of Grunge Past Descend on Crystal Palace Park: Deftones, Weezer, High Vis and More

The hallowed grounds of Crystal Palace Park will tremble beneath the weight of an alt-rock insurgency on June 29th, as the titans of the '90s underground lay waste to the senses of the faithful. Leading the charge are none other than Deftones, the multi-platinum GRAMMY® winners whose potent blend of nu metal and alt-rock has captivated the hearts and minds of misfits the world over.

Hailing from the sun-dappled wilds of Sacramento, these genre titans have forged a singular universe, blending the visceral power of heavy metal with a moody introspection that has become the calling card of alt-rock's most revered innovators. And joining them on this mid-90s crusade will be the ever-enigmatic Weezer, those lovable rabble-rousers who have spent the past three decades expertly subverting expectations and bending the very boundaries of power-pop.

From the immortal hooks of "Buddy Holly" to the soul-stirring grandeur of "Only in Dreams," Weezer's songs have etched an indelible mark on the indie firmament, their melodies as catchy as they are artfully crafted. Rounding out this veritable who's-who of alt-rock royalty are the UK's own High Vis, a hardcore outfit that fuses the fury of English street punk with a kaleidoscopic tapestry of post-punk, Britpop, and even a hint of Madchester groove. But the onslaught doesn't stop there, as more support acts are still yet to be announced to ensure this day is filled to the brim with unrestrained alt-rock fury.

Crystal Palace Park, London's original outdoor concert venue, has borne witness to the triumphs of rock 'n' roll titans past - from the Rolling Stones' incendiary performances to the psychedelic reveries of Pink Floyd. And now, in 2025, the hallowed ground will once again tremble beneath the weight of sonic catharsis, as Deftones, Weezer, and High Vis converge for what promises to be a celebratory homecoming for the alternative faithful.

So dust off your flannel, crank up the distortion, and get ready to be transported back to the glory days of slacker rock and grunge. This is one homecoming that will leave an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of a generation that grew up on the sounds of rebellion, angst, and unbridled sonic expression.
