In a couple of weeks, rock overlords Queens Of The Stone Age will return with their new album In Times New Roman…; we’ve already posted the singles “Emotion Sickness” and “Carnavoyeur.” Last week, QOTSA returned to the stage at the Sonic Temple and Boston Calling festivals, playing their first full sets since 2020. The band already had a few more festivals booked, including a headlining spot at Riot Fest, and now they’ve announced a full-scale tour that’ll take them to arenas and amphitheaters across North America.

The coming Queens Of The Stone Age tour will features some big-deal openers. The tour’s first half will cover the eastern side of the continent, and it’ll feature Phantogram and the Armed. The Armed really don’t tour often, and their live show is reportedly insane, so it’ll be worth turning up early to catch them. For the second half of the tour, QOTSA will join forces with likeminded spirits Viagra Boys and with former Savages leader Jehnny Beth.

Below, check out the tour dates, as well as a weird tour trailer where a knight plunges his face into a birthday cake for some reason.
