QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ‘The End is Nero’ Australian Tour Set to Kick Off This February
American rock titans QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE are set to embark on their ‘The End Is Nero’ tour in Australia and New Zealand this February. ‘The End is Nero’ tour is in support of their highly anticipated eighth studio album, ‘In Times New Roman…’ which debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts. The announcement of their Summer 2024 tour down under will signify their triumphant return to Australasia after their previous visit in 2018.
Formed by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age is what happens when a multidimensional musical entity outgrows the very genre it creates. Too prolific, ambitious and just plain brilliant to be tethered to or limited by the confines of any genre. Ultimately morphing into the behemoth that has blessed the world with a range of bangers from “No One Knows” to “Little Sister,” “My God is the Sun” to “The Way You Used To Do” and everything in between. Undeniably rock — yes, always, but with the blood, sweat and dark magical swagger only Homme and his cohorts can conjure. Regularly hailed as one of the greatest live bands in existence, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE consists of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore, who have worked hard to evolve to selling out arenas and headlining the main stage of your favourite summer festival.
This Australian/NZ tour will see a mix of different support acts at each show: THE CHATS, SPIDERBAIT, POND, GUT HEALTH and LOLA SCOTT.
