Deftones have extended their upcoming UK tour with an additional date in London.

The band will now play Brixton Academy on November 18, as well as their previously announced date the night before (17).

The eight-date jaunt, in support of recent album 'Diamond Eyes', also includes gigs in Leeds (November 13) and Southampton (15).

Deftones frontman Chino Moreno said: “We’re excited to be returning to the UK and Europe this Fall for our first proper headline run for 'Diamond Eyes'.

“The new stuff is sounding huge live and has been a blast to perform, as well as the oldies but goodies we plan to sneak in the sets. It's gonna be rad.”

Tickets for the new date go on sale on Wednesday (September 29) at 9am.

• Glasgow, Academy - November 12
