Outbreak Festival has changed dramatically since its hardcore beginnings, but a huge Victoria Park show proves its adventurous spirit remains intact.

About This Track
'Rubicon' by Deftones is a Hard Rock track from the album 'Gore' (2016). The lyrics feel like a push towards surrender and escape, with lines about being unable to face the crowd alone, then “Free yourself and run in there”. There is a repeated shift between sleep and wakefulness, plus explicit bodily and pleasure imagery that gives the song a fervent, strained urgency, as if intimacy is both rescue and compulsion.
"Rubicon" is a track by Deftones, from the album Gore, released 7th April 2016. The track is 4:58 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about Deftones.

"I’ve been saving myself just for you," Chino Moreno tells the crowd, just a day after Deftones pulled out of their Glastonbury slot due to illness. Whether that’s sincere or not, it hardly matters. By the time they hit the stage at Crystal Palace Park on Sunday night, Deftones are in peak form.
One of the biggest and most enduring bands in rock, Deftones are still as vital as ever.
