Queens of the Stone Age Kick Off First North American Tour in Five Years: Photos, Video + Setlist
The post Queens of the Stone Age Kick Off First North American Tour in Five Years: Photos, Video + Setlist appeared first on Consequence.
Queens of the Stone Age launched their first North American headlining tour in five years on Thursday evening (August 3rd) at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
The outing, dubbed “The End Is Nero Tour,” is broken up into in two legs, with this first one running through August 19th, and the second one launching on September 16th and wrapping up with an October 8th gig at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster or StubHub.
Frontman Josh Homme recently said he’s disappointed when bands don’t play their hits, and he certainly didn’t let down QOTSA fans by kicking off the show with perhaps the band’s best-known song, “No One Knows.”
The 18-song set also included four songs off QOTSA’s new album, In Times New Roman…, alongside favorites like “My God Is the Sun,” “Little Sister,” and “Go With the Flow.” Toward the end of the set, Homme dedicated “God Is in the Radio” to late QOTSA member Mark Lanegan.
