Share
After Deftones announced the very diverse lineup for their second annual festival Dia De Los Deftones with CHVRCHES, Gojira, JPEGMAFIA, Hum, Youth Code, and Brutus, Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta took some issue with the order of the billing. “Who is churches with a v and why the fuck are they playing over Gojira... God the music industry suckkkkks sometimes,” he tweeted. CHVRCHES frontwoman Lauren Mayberry responded, writing, “Deftones curated the lineup so I don’t know how that speaks to problems with The Music Industry. I think it’s important and powerful that they promote the idea of a diverse community and try to bridge gaps instead of being guided by limiting, antiquated ideas about genre”, Alt Press reports.
