Queens of the Stone Age Kick Off First North American Tour in Five Years: Photos, Video + Setlist

Josh Homme and company delivered an 18-song set in Sterling Heights, Michigan

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.

See a photo gallery (courtesy of 313 Presents/ Mirak Habbiyyieh ) of QOTSA’s kickoff show below, along with fan-filmed video footage, the setlist, and a list of remaining tour dates.

Entertainment | queens of the stone age hits hard in tour opener at michigan lottery amphitheatre.

It was decidedly the former for Queens of the Stone Age as it opened its The End is Nero U.S. tour on Thursday night, Aug. 3, at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre.

It helped, of course, that the heavy rock quintet has already been on the road this year, in Europe, supporting its new album “In New Times Roman…” and presumably getting itself back in performing gear six years after its last tour. Location helped, too; founder and frontman Josh Homme told the nearly full house on Thursday that, “I can’t think of a better city to start” the tour in, one QOTSA has been playing in since 1998 (at the Shelter in downtown Detroit) and is also the home town of Royal Oak-raised guitarist-keyboardist Dean Fertita.

“We should all have a good time tonight” Homme predicted shortly into the almost two-hour show — which proved to be an understatement. Following opening sets by The Armed (chaotic in a good way) and Phantogram, QOTSA walked on to the recorded strains of Peggy Lee singing Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” over the PA — an ironic complement to the dark themes that dominate the band’s material — charged right “No One Knows,” its first significant single. Playing under a pyramid-shaped lighting rig the troupe was tight and cracking, audibly and visibly rested from a break after the European tour and clearly ready to get back to playing. The bearded Homme — who battled cancer and a nasty child custody dispute since QOTSA last played in these parts — was in particularly good form and humor, grateful and gracious during his between-song comments and sharply tuned to what was happening both on stage and in front of him in the crowd.

The latter was particularly true later in the show, when he noticed a fan brandishing a sign. Homme asked for it to be brought to the stage, where he read its message from a couple that used QOTSA’s “Make It Wit Chu” as its wedding song. He called for a change in the prepared set list to go immediately into the tune — extended with a bit of the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” — quipping that “this is the song we’re playing at their divorce in 10 years…Nah. Nah. I’m kidding.”

The rest of the show ran white hot, meanwhile, with the band firing through pulverizing, action-packed arrangements of tour debuts of “Do It Again” and an epic “Better Living Through Chemistry” (its first airing since 2014) as well as four tracks from “In New Times Roman…” Though Homme cracked “we don’t have any hits” at one point favorites such as “If I Had a Tail,” “My God is the Sun” and “Little Sister” said otherwise, while “Smooth Sailing,” “The Way You Used to Do” and “I Sat By the Ocean” were given definitive treatments.

After dismissing the usual notion of walking off stage for an encore, Homme dedicated “God is in the Radio” to the late singer Mark Lanegan — a frequent QOTSA collaborator who sang it on the band’s 2002 album “Song For the Deaf” — before finishing the night with “Go With the Flow” and “A Song For the Dead.” “Every night is different,” Homme said before the closing couplet. “We want every night to be special. Tonight just felt wonderful, so thank you for that.”

And be assured the feeling from the crowd was more than mutual.

Indie & Rock Concerts

the end is nero tour!

Founded after the dissolution of frontman Josh Homme's first band Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age exploded out of the gates in the late 90s with the records Rated R and Songs for the Deaf. This year sees them hitting the road once again on the 'End Is Nero Tour' with their most recent album, 'In Times New Roman', where they'll be joined by The Struts as support on certain dates.

Heavy and sludgy, yet still packing in a load of radio-friendly melodies, it was a one-two album punch that set the band on the course to worldwide fame. Since then Homme has kept their sound fresh and vital, where so many of his contemporaries seem content to coast on former glories, and produced more than a few classic rock songs along the way.

Guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and drummer Jon Theodore caught up with us backstage at this year’s instalment of the Donington Park festival, shortly before they took to the Apex stage as Friday’s headliners (June 14).

It comes following frontman Josh Homme telling NME about the set at the end of 2023 , and hinting that while they still planned to “to give it [their] all”, they didn’t see “any reason to trip out” over the set. Now, chatting with us backstage, Van Leeuwen and Theodore opened up about what it’s been like to tour in support of their latest LP, and shared their love for Royal Blood , who they hit the road with earlier this year.

They also told us about the upcoming reissue of their 1998 self-titled album , and what it was like to take part in the project, despite neither of them being part of the line-up when it was first released. Read the full interview below.

NME : Queens Of The Stone Age, welcome to Download. How are you finding it? 

Troy Van Leeuwen: “It’s wonderful to be here. I’m loving the weather.”

Jon Theodore: “It’s a classic British summer day!”

This far down the line, do you still get nervous when it comes to a show like this?

JT:  “A lady never tells. But we are super excited. We get super fired up. It’s a legendary spot and we’re standing on the shoulders of giants here, so it’s impossible to come here and not feel something. I would say for the most part it’s just excitement though.”

T.V.L: “I call it butterflies because it sounds nicer, a bit more poetic.”

How have you found the response to ‘In Times New Roman…’?

T.V.L: “We’ve been touring for about a year now on this new record, I can’t believe it came out almost a year ago. The response has been pretty positive, I think they like us… I’m making guesses, but it feels good. That’s all that matters.”

J.T: “I think it’s going pretty great. People seem genuinely enthusiastic and they keep showing up and they stay. And they’re getting excited when we play new songs. It’s feeling pretty good.”

The band are about to re-release their 1998 debut album. Were you both familiar with the album before you joined the line-up?

T.V.L: “We love that record. I think we all listened to it before we were in the band, but we’ve been playing a couple of those songs along the way so it does bring back memories.”

J: “It’s good to refresh them and make them current again. We do try to play to play them all the time and for most people it was their first look at the band. So it always goes over well when we play the songs.”

With something like a reissue, do you get involved despite not being on the original recording?

T.V.L: “I think there’s a balance between how the record sounds and the simplicity of it. But there are moments where we get to go out of the lines a little bit and express ourselves. It’s a little balancing act.”

J.T: “We definitely try to honour the past as well as we possibly can. We try to recreate that time and place and feel and sound. But that being said there are times where we collectively veer off. But I think individually we all try to acknowledge that essential push needed.”

What was it like touring with Royal Blood earlier this year?

T.V.L: “Well they’re like our brothers. We’ve toured quite a bit together and we actually have a lot of fun together. We actually say ‘We should just tour forever together’. Maybe at some point we can then all be on stage at the same time and have a rock fight for sure.”

J.T: “We love those guys. We’re real kindred spirits. They’re fun to watch and even more fun to hang with. I think the thing with those guys is that, even though we’re from completely different parts of the world and we play in different bands, there is a commonality between us that makes it feel very familiar. So in a way, it does feel like home all the time. No matter where we are, when those guys are around it feels like the old days.”

If you could pick a dream festival line-up, who would be there?

T.V.L: “I’d take David Bowie , Led Zeppelin , T-Rex , Black Flag and the first version of The Pretenders .”

J.T: “ Jimi Hendrix , Talking Heads and the John Coltrane Quartet. And it would be based on a mountain near the beach with lots of puppies around. It’d be an all-around wonderful scenario.”

T.V.L: “That sounds amazing. I’d go to that one.”

What does the future look like for Queens Of The Stone Age?

TVL: “Sleep! I think we’re going to take a little break. I know we have some plans for next year that are loosely being talked about.”

J.T: “There are definitely some aces in some sleeves so to speak…”

T.V.L: “There is always music that we can get back to, but we’re also in the middle of this really long summer tour, and that’s what we want to make sure that we’re still excited about. Even at the end. So that takes all of our energy away from things like writing a new song or talking about making an animated movie about the behind-the-scenes of the making-of a documentary.”

J.T: “We’ve been in sort of fifth or sixth gear. We have to get into mutual at some point and come up for air – see our families, rest our bodies, spend some time apart from one another. Because at this point it’s sort of this large, five-headed organism. It’s like the thing almost, so we need to free some of the surfaces to regrow. That way we can regroup and come back and do some more.”

Queens of the Stone Age provide the perfect, hit-packed festival headline set despite Download 2024’s middling reception

14th june 2024, amidst a day of rain and mud, josh homme and co. shone through..

In recent years, festivals across the board have steadily started to inch their remits wider than the tribal events they first began life as. Where Reading and Leeds used to be firmly guitar-centric affairs, now you’ll find indie artists lining up next to rap, trap, pop and everything in between. Latitude in the 2010s had a reputation for taking a punt on rising new headliners (Foals, The Maccabees and Wolf Alice all made their bill-topping debuts there); amidst the modern competitive landscape, this year it’s headlined by Duran Duran, London Grammar and Kasabian.

Throughout, however, rock and metal mecca Download has firmly stood strong in its position. There have been a few unlikely bookings, but largely the Donington Park weekender has stuck to its blazing guns - so much so that, last year, Metallica headlined not once but twice. When this year’s line-up was announced, then, it was to relative consternation from hardened festival devotees; as Friday night headliners, Josh Homme’s swaggering rockers Queens of the Stone Age were deemed an ill fit - neither heavy nor showy enough to fill the spot. And as the band emerge to a notably thin crowd come their 9pm top slot, it’s hard to say whether it’s the miserable weather (the classic ‘Drownload’ mud bath is one thing that hasn’t changed) or this proliferating opinion that’s the cause.

Friday’s bill has, in general, been tailored to allow a broader and in some ways more indie-leaning path through its line up. Though there’s plenty for the OG Download-goer to soak up (Norwegian experimental folk outfit Heilung, with their opening sage cleansing ritual and bone instruments, are like nothing else this or any other field are likely to see), there’s also a joyfully-received, pummelling afternoon set from DIY's 2024 Festival Guide cover stars SOFT PLAY , and a more lukewarm reception for Royal Blood , who battle through technical issues (far from the only ones across the weekend) on their Apex Stage main support slot. They’re a fitting warm up for Homme and co, but unlikely to lure the hoard of people trudging over to Busted ’s wildly popular set across the site.

In some ways, the naysayers are correct - Queens of the Stone Age aren’t ones for grand whistles and bangs; you’re never going to see their hip-swivelling frontman donning masks or breathing fire. But what the Californian stalwarts do have is hits by the bucketload, and it’s with this mentality that they rip straight into an opening gambit of ‘Little Sister’, ‘Burn The Witch’ and ‘My God Is The Sun’. There’s an obvious nod to where they’re playing too; in place of some of their more groove-fuelled recent cuts, there are additional tracks from heavy debut ‘Songs For The Deaf’ brought out, with an early ‘Go With The Flow’ winning over even the relatively stagnant outer rings of the crowd.

Homme is on showman-like form, repeatedly inviting the festival to join him in a “night you’ll never remember”, and descending, preacher-like into the front row during an extended ‘Straight Jacket Fitting’. He grinningly declares himself “stoned and fucked up” but the set is a tight and visceral run through the band’s considerable arsenal, and as they ramp up the riffs with a closing trio of ‘You Think I Ain’t Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire’, ‘No One Knows’ and ‘Song For The Dead’, there’s no question that they’re capable of competing with any world class headliner out there. Some of Download’s crowd, at least, agrees.
