Queens of the Stone Age to perform reworked hits in S.F.
Queens of the Stone Age is bringing newly reimagined versions of its hit songs to San Francisco this fall.
The rock band is scheduled to take over Davies Symphony Hall on Nov. 10, as part of its limited-run Catacombs Tour. The trek draws on the band's recent concert film, 'Alive in the Catacombs,' which was shot in the Catacombs of Paris and released earlier this month.
The Josh Homme-fronted group known for tracks like 'No One Knows' and 'Go With The Flow,' plans to 'draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions' and enhance them with 'assembled ensembles,' according to the band's tour announcement released Monday, June 23.
Ticket presales begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, with general sales starting at 10 a.m. Friday, June 27.
Fellow alt-rockers the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which rose to prominence around the same time as Queens of the Stone Age in the aughts, is also scheduled to perform at Davies on July 14-15 as part of its Hidden in Pieces 25th anniversary tour.
Queens of the Stone Age's series of intimate shows, all of which are set in historic theaters, kicks off on Oct. 2 in Chicago and wraps up in New Orleans on Nov. 21.
European dates are expected to be announced soon.
'You'll want to look as good as the music is going to sound on this very special evening at the theater,' the tour announcement states, encouraging fans to dress up for the occasion.
Queens of the Stone Age have only recently returned to live performances, following a string of cancellations last year prompted by Homme's health issues, including an undisclosed emergency surgery. While the band did not share details, Homme revealed in 2023 that he had undergone successful cancer treatment.
The group's most recent album, 'In Time New Roman…,' was released in July 2024.
