Deftones performed “Melanie,” a rarely played song from their unfinished Eros sessions, during a 20-song headline set at the Dia de los Deftones festival in San Diego on November 7. The track had not been played live since 2008, when the band was recording Eros. Deftones shelved the album after bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car crash; Cheng died in 2013, and the band has rarely revisited the emotionally charged material. Reports that Eros recordings leaked online earlier in 2026 have renewed interest in the album, though it is unclear whether the performance signals plans to revisit more of its songs.
