For die-hard fans, you’ll be pleased to hear that the setlist is rumored to include some deep cuts and fan favorites from earlier albums. Brace yourselves, Australia and New Zealand—the Queens are coming.
Last week, the band subtly hinted at the upcoming tour on social media, instantly fueling excitement among their fan base. Sharp-eyed fans might have noticed that the teaser featured a snippet from “Better Living Through Chemistry,” a classic from their second album ‘Rated R.’ Now, the official announcement is here, and the tour, aptly named ‘The End Is Nero,’ will kick off in February 2024.
Firstly, the tour will commence at Red Hill Auditorium in Perth on 10th February 2024. Subsequently, the band will make their way to Adelaide, Hobart, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, and Brisbane. For the super-fans keeping score, this marks their fifth visit to Australia since their first appearance in 2001.
Importantly, the tour aims to promote their critically acclaimed eighth studio album, ‘In Times New Roman…’. The album features collaborations with long-time friends like Dave Grohl and Mark Lanegan. It debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts and is described as “their darkest, knottiest material to date.”

Moreover, Joshua Homme and the rest of the Queens crew are encouraging fans from all walks of life to join the tour. Longtime QOTSA followers will recall the infamous “No One Knows” video featuring the band’s off-kilter sense of humor; they’ve emphasized that “this is where you belong.”
Eager fans can start marking their calendars for these critical dates:
The Queens of the Stone Age fan presale begins at 11 am (local) on Wednesday, 25 October. Historically, fan presale tickets for the band have sold out within minutes, so act fast.
Members can secure their tickets during the ‘My Live Nation’ presale, also beginning at 11 am (local) on Wednesday, 25 October.
Lastly, general ticket sales start at 1 pm (local) on Monday, 30 October.
Formed in the 1990s by Joshua Homme in Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age have long since outgrown the confines of any single genre. Homme initially started the band as a way to explore different musical styles after the dissolution of his previous band, Kyuss. Known for their incredible live performances, the band has evolved from desert “generator parties” to sold-out arenas worldwide.
To sum up, the ‘The End Is Nero’ Summer 2024 Australian and New Zealand tour promises to be an electrifying experience for fans and super-fans alike. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a truly memorable series of concerts. Get your tickets now and be part of this epic musical journey!
