During Deftones' headlining set at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, fans were treated to a delightful surprise as Paramore's Hayley Williams made an unexpected appearance on stage. The event took place on March 26, 2025, marking a heartwarming and nostalgic reunion between Williams and Deftones. The last time these two musical forces shared a stage was back in 2010 during the Rock-A-Field Festival in Luxembourg, where Williams filled in for vocals on the song “Passenger.” This time, she joined them to deliver a stirring rendition of the track “Minerva,” a notable song from Deftones' 2003 self-titled album.

The collaboration during the concert was a vivid reminder of the magic that happens when artists from different genres come together. Hayley Williams, known for her dynamic presence and vocal prowess as the lead singer of Paramore, blended seamlessly with the heavy and atmospheric sounds of Deftones. Her performance added a unique layer to the song “Minerva,” enveloping the audience in a mesmerizing experience. Fans were captivated as Williams twirled on stage, embodying the energy of the night, and her engagement with Deftones’ frontman, Chino Moreno, was nothing short of electric.

The Deftones' set featuring Hayley Williams was part of a broader tour that the band is undertaking across multiple locations. Accompanied by acts such as The Mars Volta and Fleshwater, the tour will continue to sweep across North America, with performances scheduled in cities such as Indianapolis, Chicago, and New York, before eventually heading to Europe for a series of festivals and additional shows. For Deftones, this tour marks another chapter in their storied career, combining new musical endeavors with nostalgic nods to their past successes, such as their planned commemorations of significant album anniversaries.

This unforgettable live performance was documented by ecstatic fans who captured every moment of the collaboration, sharing the experience widely across social media platforms. The footage not only immortalized the concert for those who were present but also allowed fans worldwide to partake in the magic. With both bands gearing up for exciting future projects and tours, fans are hopeful that this won't be the last time they witness such an impactful union on stage.
