Josh Homme and co will play a limited run of unique and intimate shows this October, which will include a date at the historic London venue.

Queens of the Stone Age have announced the details of their UK and European The Catacombs Tour.

The No One Knows rockers made history when they took to the French landmark for a special recording and film, which saw them give a special unplugged performance for their biggest and most captive audience yet - a sprawling 320km ossuary beneath the surface of Paris with a foundation of six million human remains.

Now, Josh Homme and co have announce their plans to take their special reimagined shows on the road, with a limited series of one-night-only performances this October in a curated selection of venues across Europe.

The string of intimate shows culminates in the UK with a date at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall on 29th October 2025, which will see them supported on the night by Irish born, Brighton based singer-songwriter Laura-Mary Carter.

Tickets go on general sale from Friday 18th July at qotsa.com.

Enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour."
