QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ANNOUNCE THE CATACOMBS TOUR


Prepare to discover heretofore unknown dimensions of Queens of the Stone Age this fall on The Catacombs Tour — a limited series of very special one-night-only evenings at a curated selection of North America’s most historic theaters.  

The conception of The Catacombs Tour was inspired in large part by the band members’ collective experience during the creation of their Alive in the Catacombs cinematic and musical opus. Comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion, The Catacombs Tour will see QOTSA draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions and infuse it into reimagined versions that promise to twist the volume knob in both directions. Enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.
