QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Announce May 2027 U.S. Tour

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will support their soon-to-be-released album "Perfecth" on a 2027 tour. Beginning May 1 at San Diego's Viejas Arena, they will bring their unforgettable live set to venues such as Kia Forum in Los Angeles and TD Garden in Boston, and will also stage outdoor shows at Red Rocks and American Family Insurance Amp in Milwaukee. PIXIES and WHEELCHAIR SPORTS CAMP will support on all dates, which go on sale to the general public on Thursday, October 29 at 10 a.m. local time and pre-sale begins October 28 at 10 a.m. local time.

Last night, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE returned to NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for the live debut of "Where The Goth Girls At?" off their forthcoming release "Perfecth", coming October 30 via Matador Records. It follows previously released "Perfecth" songs "Insignificant Other", which Uncut described as a "deliciously callous kiss-off," and the Nikki Lane-featuring "Easy Street", which DIY called "decidedly surreal."

This year Halloween becomes HalloQueen, as the band will celebrate the release of "Perfecth" with HalloQueen retail events around the world on October 31. Costumes are encouraged! Hear the new album, grab some exclusive goodies and purchase a newly announced, VERY limited-edition "Perfecth" picture disc while supplies last at participating HalloQueen retailers.

Produced by Homme and band member Michael Shuman, "Perfecth" was made in the spirit of Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by filling its cracks with gold, which holds that what has been shattered is made more beautiful, not less, by the act of repair. It's an album that could only have been made right now thanks to band members taking significant evolutionary steps as a collective and arriving at hard-won clarity, its nine songs map different forms of love: of family, friends, and others both significant and insignificant. The loves that break you beyond survival and the loves that put you back together.

Birthed from sessions tracked everywhere from New Orleans to Los Angeles, the music is fearless and boundless, moody and menacing, gentle and strange. Here, QUEENS have moved a career's worth of jagged pieces into alignment.

"Every song sounds like it's from a different world," says Homme. "And that's on purpose, because it's trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that."

The newly announced dates will follow previously announced stops in Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and at Lollapalooza's three Latin American editions. More headline shows in the new year will be announced in the coming weeks. Sign up at qotsa.com to be the first to receive updates.
