Queens Of The Stone Age Close Out The Year In Style

After gracing the rest of North America and Europe with legendary shows all year, “U.S. rock gods” (The Telegraph) Queens of the Stone Age have finally landed in their home turf of Los Angeles to close out the 2023 in epic fashion.

The festivities kicked off with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for their first U.S. television appearance in support of their latest album, In Times New Roman…  The band performed the hit “Emotion Sickness,” which moved Pitchfork to rave, “alternates fluently between high-octane blasts of acid-damaged guitar and a chorus that luxuriates in the band’s melodic chops. ‘Baby don’t care for me,’ goes the deceptively sun-kissed refrain… there’s a playfulness, a thrilling push-and-pull between melody and attack, that recalls the band’s heights.”

Saturday the band will return to Los Angeles’s own Kia Forum, their first Los Angeles performance since their 2018 headline performance at the Forum. After a well deserved rest, the tour will relaunch in the New Year with stops in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and of course a 12 show tour of our home and native land.
