T K MAXX PRESENTS AT THE PIECE HALL HALIFAX - 24th June 2025
IMAGES / WORDS DESH KAPUR
The Piece Hall in Halifax is nothing short of spectacular as a live-music venue. This 18th-century cloth‑hall courtyard, painstakingly restored and transformed, offers sweeping, tiered sightlines and an atmosphere that marries historic grandeur with modern acoustics. Whether you're nestled against its sandstone walls or leaning over a balustrade on the balcony, the stage feels intimate, the sound crisp, and the night charged with energy
The Deftones performance at the Piece Hall, despite relentless rain starting mid‑evening, was all heat and thunder. Far from dampening spirits, the downpour elevated the crowd’s fervor, but no one budged. As one fan aptly noted, "fantastic venue... rained all evening was soaked … but still singing along all night"
Deftones tore into their set with ferocious groove-metal intensity. From the slam of the opening riffs to the atmospheric crescendos, they were a force. Staples like "Diamond Eyes" and "My Own Summer" hit hard and early and Chino Moreno’s vocals and the band’s tight interplay were undeniably top form, weather or not.
Against the stormy sky, the stage lights cut through like lightning. Each drum roll and guitar reverberation seemed amplified by the wet air, lending a raw, primal edge. The venue's stonework and open courtyard amplified the impact—making even the subtler, melodic passages swell with resonance.
The mosh pits were fervent and packed. The communal vibe was tangible—everyone braved the weather in unity, head banging, singing, and cheering with abandon.
Deftones’ Piece Hall gig wasn’t just a concert—it was a shared triumph over the elements. Their heavy, groove-laden performance thrummed with power and precision; Chino and the band delivered an electrifying, emotive journey. At a venue praised as “incredible” and “one of my favourites” the rain didn’t stand a chance. For those lucky enough to be there, it was a night of metal mastery—and a reminder that sometimes the best shows are the ones accompanied by thunder, both literal and musical.
