Who Do You Pick As Deftones’ Front Act?

As all of you know, the Deftones will be returning to Manila on May 26 to play a show in support of their new album Koi No Yokan. There’s also the news of Queso being chosen as the opening band for the concert. The response we got from you readers was overwhelming to say the least.

We’ve been pretty quiet about it for some time, but here it goes… there will be 2 opening bands for the concert on May 26! And if you’re wondering who the 2^ndband will be, we’re leaving the decision to you, Splintr fans. Yes, you’ll be taking a more active role in our selection of which band would get to share the stage with Deftones and Queso.

We have narrowed down the selection to 7 bands: Philia, Franco, Curbside, Faspitch, Pitik, Earthmover, and Salamin. Now you get to decide which of these 7 undeniably talented local artists will get the much-coveted slot. All you have to do is follow the mechanics as below:
