Queens of the Stone Age want to celebrate the end of the world with you.
From August through October, the heavy alt-rockers are hitting the road for their ‘The End Is Nero Tour’ in support of their upcoming album “In Times New Roman.”
Midway through the 30-concert North American leg of the trek, Josh Homme and co. will drop into Queens, NY’s Forest Hills Stadium at West Side Tennis Club on Saturday, Aug. 12.
And everyone is invited to the group’s first official nationwide jaunt since their 2018 ‘Villains’ Tour.
“The End Is Nero tour is an invitation from Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore…would like to encourage the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between to attend,” the band shared.
“This is where you belong. Leave your judgment at the door, bring anything and everything else.”
Best of all, fans that want to rock out to “No One Knows,” “Go With The Flow,” “Make It Wit Chu” and hear the band debut tracks from “In Times New Roman” can grab tickets for the tour as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, June 9, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
