Queens of Stone Age Adds Shows

- The new dates are part of the "Catacombs Tour," a more intimate series of performances that follow the extensive "The End Is Nero" world tour, which ran from August 2023 to August 2025 in support of their latest album. - The band's most recent album is "In Times New Roman...", released in June 2023. It is their eighth studio album and the first since 2017's "Villains". - Frontman Josh Homme's recent personal struggles, including the dissolution of his marriage and health issues, heavily influenced the lyrical themes of "In Times New Roman...". - The "Catacombs Tour" name is likely a reference to the band's live album and concert film, "Alive in the Catacombs," which was recorded in the Catacombs of Paris. - The setlist for the "Catacombs Tour" has been distinct from previous tours, featuring a three-act structure and the inclusion of rarely performed songs like "Mosquito Song." - The band's lineup has remained consistent since 2013, featuring founder Josh Homme (vocals, guitar), Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar), Michael Shuman (bass), Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar), and Jon Theodore (drums). - The preceding "The End Is Nero" tour featured a rotating lineup of supporting acts, including The Kills, The Armed, and Viagra Boys.
