Queens of the Stone Age announce ‘Catacombs Tour,' NYC show. Get tickets
There's no place like with Homme.
Queens of the Stone Age announced they're striking out on their 2025 'The Catacombs Tour' in support of their recently-released five-song EP 'Alive In The Catacombs.'
While out and about, the 'No One Knows' rockers will hit 'intimate' theaters and symphony halls all over North America from October through November.
They're currently slated to close the first leg of the two-month U.S. and Canada fall run at New York City's Beacon Theatre on Friday, Oct. 10.
The band shared on Instagram that these concerts will be 'a limited series of very special one-night-only evenings at a curated selection of North America's most historic theaters…comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion and enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.'
At the moment, the Seattle natives are currently wrapping their ongoing 2023 'The End Is Nero Tour' — which was extended in February — after taking a brief respite in 2024 when the band cancelled (and subsequently rescheduled) a number of shows due to lead singer and frontman Josh Homme needing emergency surgery.
Fans Cavepeople can purchase tickets for all upcoming Queens of the Stone Age shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for 'The Catacombs Tour' is Friday, June 27.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Queens of the Stone Age set list
Most recently, Homme and the band rocked Chicago's Huntington Bank Pavilion on June 21. According to Set List FM, here's what they took to the stage that night.
01.) 'A Song for the Deaf'
02.) 'No One Knows'
03.) '3's & 7's'
04.) 'Paper Machete'
05.) 'Smooth Sailing'
06.) 'My God Is the Sun'
07.) 'Emotion Sickness'
08.) 'If I Had a Tail'
09.) 'Time & Place'
10.) 'Carnavoyeur'
11.) 'Kalopsia'
12.) 'Misfit Love'
13.) 'Make It Wit Chu'
14.) 'I Sat by the Ocean'
15.) 'Little Sister'
16.) 'Go With the Flow'
17.) 'A Song for the Dead'
Queens of the Stone Age new music
On June 13, QotSA dropped the five-song EP 'Alive In The Catacombs.'
The mini-album is a stripped-down, string-heavy vulnerable affair that starts slow before building to a softer climax than the group is typically known for. Think 2004 'Funeral' era Arcade Fire but led by Homme and you're not a million miles away from what the band is bringing to the table here.
Standouts include the powerful, sea shanty-esque album opener 'Running Joke/Paper Machete,' gentle, lilting 'Kalopsia' and the pitter-patter-y 'I Never Came' closer. Each is unexpectedly beautiful in its own unique way.
To hear for yourself, you can find 'Alive In The Catacombs' here.

‘Weapons' horror film scores a box office victory
LOS ANGELES — It's August, and horror and humor came to play. In a month that's long been known to let edgier movies thrive, Zach Cregger's highly anticipated horror film 'Weapons' did not disappoint, topping the box office during its debut weekend with $42.5 million domestically from 3,202 theaters. It made $70 million internationally. The film's success also handed its distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures, the seventh No. 1 opening of the year, and became the studio's sixth film in a row to debut with over $40 million domestically. 'Freakier Friday,' Disney's chaotic sequel to the 2003 classic, 'Freaky Friday,' took the second spot during its premiere weekend, earning $29 million in 3,975 North American theaters. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return, this time for a double body-swapping between the mother-daughter duo and Lohan's teen daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter. Viral marketing tactics, coupled with strong social media word-of-mouth, boded well for both films' success, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the data firm Comscore. 'The top two films could not be more different, and that's what makes this weekend so appealing for moviegoers,' Dergarabedian said. 'Both are perfectly tailored for their audiences to react in real time over the weekend to these films and then post on social media.' 'Weapons' transports audiences to the small town of Maybrook, where 17 kids up and leave their homes at 2:17 a.m., leaving bewildered parents in their wake. The town is left to navigate the lingering effects of trauma through horror, paranoia and a touch of existential humor. The film is Cregger's follow-up to his solo directorial debut with the 2022 genre-bending horror, 'Barbarian.' That critically-acclaimed film had a slower start and smaller budget, but still topped the charts during its premiere with $10 million domestically and made a splash in the genre. 'Weapons' generated a lot of buzz for its strong reviews (95% on Rotten Tomatoes). 'The Internet's exploding right now between Friday and today. You just see that people are having a great time with it,' said Jeffrey Goldstein, president of Global Distribution for Warner Bros. 'It starts with an exceptional movie, an exceptional marketing campaign, and the date was exceptional too.' The success of the comedy-horror double premiere meant 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' surrendered its two-week run in the top spot and landed in the third position, bringing in $15.5 million domestically. The superhero movie enjoyed a strong $118 million debut, but stumbled in its second weekend. 'The Bad Guys 2,' which got a healthy start at the No. 2 spot during its premiere weekend, came in fourth place, earning $10.4 million domestically. 'The Naked Gun' had a similar fate, reaching the fifth position with $8.4 million in North American theaters. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' which came in seventh this week, is expected to hit $800 million globally by Monday, according to NBC Universal, following a successful run in theaters. Warner Bros. started off slow this year, but made a comeback with the box-office hit, 'A Minecraft Movie,' which opened with $157 million domestically. Since then, movies like 'Sinners,' 'Superman' and now, 'Weapons,' have found success. The studio set 'a blueprint to how to create a perfect summer lineup,' Dergarabedian said. 'Weapons 'also joins a stream of successful horror movies this year, its opening numbers coming in just behind 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' and 'Sinners.' With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'Weapons,' $42.5 million. 2. 'Freakier Friday,' $29 million. 3. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' $15.5 million. 4. 'The Bad Guys 2,' $10.4 million. 5. 'The Naked Gun,' $8.4 million. 6. 'Superman,' $7.8 million. 7. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' $4.7 million. 8. 'F1: The Movie,' $2.9 million. 9. 'Together,' $2.6 million. 10. 'Sketch,' $2.5 million.
