CHVRCHES respond to Hatebreed singer critiquing Deftones’ festival order
Yesterday, Deftones announced the lineup for their second annual Dia De Los Deftones festival featuring CHVRCHES, Gojira and more. However, Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta voiced his opinions on the lineup order, not agreeing with having CHVRCHES listed as second on the bill.
Jasta took to Twitter wanting to know “why the fuck” the band was playing over Gojira.

CHVRCHES vocalist Lauren Mayberry retweeted Jasta’s remark adding one of her own.
“Deftones curated the lineup so I don’t know how that speaks to problems with The Music Industry. I think it’s important and powerful that they promote the idea of a diverse community and try to bridge gaps instead of being guided by limiting, antiquated ideas about genre.”

She then replied to the Hatebreed vocalist directly.
“I saw Gojira in Glasgow years ago and have seen Deftones three times so was excited when we got asked to be on the bill. Just because someone plays or listens to ‘pop music’ doesn’t mean they don’t understand or appreciate other things.”

While not directly replying to Mayberry, Jasta continued with his tweets regarding the lineup this morning.
“I’m sure they’re lovely people and a popular group, I don’t agree with the line up order, same w/ other festivals, if anyone is butt hurt about my opinion wait til you hear the podcast! Metal needs to be shown more respect. Longer career, legacy, more albums, bill em higher.”
