Queens Of The Stone Age Tease 2024 Australian Tour

According to a new social media post, Queens Of The Stone Age will return to Australia and New Zealand in summer 2024.

Captioning the post with a reference to a single from their latest album, In Times New Roman…, the band wrote, “#TheEndIsNero” with accompanying Australian and New Zealand flag emojis. “Be the first to slake your thirst…” and a link to sign up to their mailing list, which you can find here. Check out the teaser below.

The caption sits alongside a striking image, which says that Queens Of The Stone Age are hitting the following cities in summer 2024: Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

The band’s tour also stretches out to New Zealand, with the post hinting at dates in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. In the coming weeks, we should have an update on the group’s forthcoming AU/NZ tour.

Queens Of The Stone Age released their new album, In Times New Roman… in June 2023. The album was preceded by the single Emotion Sickness, a rollicking rock and roll number that hints at the “raw, at times brutal and not recommended for the faint of heart” music on the new LP.

The band’s leader, vocalist Josh Homme, and bandmates Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore come together to create “the sound of a band creating the music its own members want to hear while giving the rest of us a sonic forum in which to congregate”.

In Times New Roman... was recorded and mixed at Homme’s own Pink Duck Studios (RIP), with additional recording at Shangri-La. The album was produced by Queens Of The Stone Age and mixed by Mark Rankin. In Times New Roman… was the follow-up to 2017’s Villains.

Queens Of The Stone Age last toured Australia in August/September 2018. In a live review of their show at Brisbane’s Riverstage, The Music writer Lauren Baxter commented that the gig was “only about guitars, drums and good ol’ fashioned rock’n’roll”.

In a separate review of their concert at the Hordern Pavilion, The Music’s Brendan Delavere concluded that “Homme and co once again prove that rock'n'roll ain’t dead.”
