The publicist for the Deftones was kind enough to send us the initial dates to the Godsmack and Deftones summer tour. These are only the first 12 of 40 expected dates for the tour that is set to kick off on July 12th.  

The Deftones are going out on this co-headlining tour to support their 2000 release �White Pony�. Former antiMUSIC contributor Goth Brooks caught them on their headlining tour last year and had this to say, �..the power of their live show is still what the fans are gonna remember when they go home!�  You can read Goth�s full report by clicking here. 

Godsmack is once again touring to promote their sophomore album �Awake�. Last month they once again swept the Boston Music Awards bringing home four awards including Album of the year and Act of the Year.
