Get ready to take a bow for rock royalty as Queens of the Stone Age have announced they are coming to Australia for their End is Nero tour, supporting their eighth studio album, In Times New Roman.
Performing a slew of Australasian dates, the rockers will headline Mona Foma in Hobart as well as performing live shows in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, and a one-off performance at our Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Monday, February 19, 2024. The band will be supported by psych rockers Pond and the post-punk outfit Gut Health.
Founded by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of '90s stoner rock in California, Queens of the Stone Age's ascent since releasing their major-label 2000 debut, Rated R, has been nothing short of stratospheric. Now considered one of the leading heavy rock bands of the 21st century, the band comprises of Homme and Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and drummer Jon Theodore.
Concertgoers can expect to hear tracks from their new album – which debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts – as well as hits like 'No One Knows', 'Little Sister', 'My God is the Sun' to 'The Way You Used to Do' and many more.
Homme and his band of brothers have made a call to the "obscene and clean", "outcasts and weirdos", and "anyone in between" to attend. "Leave your judgment at the door," the Queens declare. "Bring anything and everything else."
General tickets are on sale on Monday, October 30 at 1pm (local). For complete tour and ticket information, visit the Live Nation website here.
