Deafheaven are touring in support of Lonely People with Power<\/em>, which was widely acclaimed as one of the best releases of 2025.<\/p>\n Their sixth studio album featured in many year-end publications, topping Metal Injection<\/em> and BrooklynVegan<\/em>\u2018s respective countdowns.<\/p>\n To celebrate their New Zealand return, Rolling Stone AU\/NZ<\/em> caught up with the US band to discuss their latest album, their favourite Kiwi haunts, the differences between smaller and larger venues, and more.<\/p>\n Tickets for Deafheaven\u2019s Wellington show can be found here<\/a>. Tickets for their Auckland show can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Rolling Stone AU\/NZ: You\u2019ve always made music that is vast. I wonder if in recent years you feel like you\u2019re finally playing venues that can actually fit the sound of Deafheaven<\/span>. What has it been like getting used to these bigger venues?<\/strong><\/p>\n Get your daily dose of everything happening in Australian\/New Zealand music and globally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Deafheaven: I like that larger venues allow for bigger production, and to that end, it does feel more accommodating for what we do. That said, smaller venues can help amplify the volume and intensity that I hope our show brings.<\/p>\nLove Music?<\/h2>\n
