Queens Of The Stone Age has today announced three very special UK headline shows for summer 2023.
The dates begin at Halifax’s The Piece Hall on 20th June before taking in Dreamland as part of the Margate Summer Series (22nd June) and Cardiff Castle (23rd June). Tickets will be on general sale from Friday 21st April at 09:00 BST, and available for artist presale from Wednesday 19th April at 09:00 BST at the links below.
The three-date run will mark Queens Of The Stone Age’s anticipated return to the UK, and first live performances in the country since the 2018 Villains tour, which saw Queens described as “the greatest rock’n’roll band on the planet” in a five-star review in The Guardian.
Released in 2017 and received as a redefining album, shooting straight to #1 in the UK on its release, Villains is now a UK Gold-certified record. Alongside 2013’s multiple-GRAMMY-nominated, Billboard 200 #1 charting …Like Clockwork, and their self-titled 1998 debut, the three landmark albums were recently re-released, now back on vinyl newly cut from the original master tapes and available via Matador Records here.
The three special UK live shows arrive amongst a European summer tour taking in huge performances at Southside Festival, Pinkpop, Roskilde, Open’er Festival, Mad Cool, NOS Alive and more.
Isle Of Wight-based four-piece Coach Party – recently tipped by the NME as “glittering new indie-grunge” and “dazzling pop goodness” by DIY – will perform in support at all three UK summer dates.
