AUCKLAND (TUE 24 OCTOBER, 2023): Queens of the Stone Age officially announce ‘The End Is Nero’ Summer 2024 Australian and New Zealand tour, the band’s first appearance in Australasia since 2018. The official announcement comes after the band excitedly teased the news via social media last week, “sending shockwaves of excitement through the Gold Coast and beyond.” – GC Mag.
The far-reaching tour, hailed by NME as “a band reaching the peak of their powers” and the Lincoln Star Journal to proclaim it “the best rock show I’ve seen in a very long time” will see the band start at Red Hill Auditorium in Perth on 10th February, ahead of shows in Adelaide, Hobart, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Queens of the Stone Age will then continue their tour in Auckland and Wellington before concluding the run in Christchurch on 3rd March.
‘The End is Nero’ tour is in support of their acclaimed eighth studio album, ‘In Times New Roman…’ ’ and is an invitation from Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore to come celebrate the end of the world, which we hear is “in a month or two.” They would like to encourage the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between to attend, this is where you belong. Leave your judgment at the door, bring anything and everything else.

About Queens of the Stone Age:
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… What started off as “generator parties” in the desert has evolved to sold out arenas and headlining the main stage of your favourite summer festival.
