The Deftones and the Refused will play the Freedom Hill Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights on August 12. Tickets for the eardrum-crushing event will go on sale this Friday, April 1 at 10 a.m.

Thankfully for us, the supercharged, post-Fugazi sounds of the Refused will bolster the Deftones' nimble badassery.
