ONE of the most influential alternative bands in the world took to the stage at the Eden Sessions on Thursday night.

Deftones performed a killer set in front of a sold-out crowd at the iconic venue, which included Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), My Own Summer (Shove It), Diamond Eyes, Tempest, Swerve City, Feiticeira, Digital Bath and You've Seen the Butcher.

The Eden Sessions was one of only a handful of gigs the Grammy award winning alternative metal band from California will play in the UK this year.

Incredible aerial imagery by internationally acclaimed drone photographer Chris Gorman, known globally as The Big Ladder Photographer, provides a dynamic and mesmerising perspective of the wondrous energy and luminosity of the Eden Sessions experience.

Rita Broe, Eden Sessions managing director, said: “We’re excited to reveal this stunning new imagery taken by Chris, which perfectly captures the electrifying atmosphere of an Eden Session. A show here feels other-worldly and last night Deftones delivered a performance that will go down as one of the all-time greats in Eden Sessions history.

“We’ve hit the halfway mark of our Eden Sessions season this year, with legendary Madness and unmissable performances from Biffy Clyro and The Libertines yet to come – both arriving fresh from their Glastonbury appearances this weekend.”

Deftones were joined last night by special guests High Vis.
