Announced today (January 20), 15 new shows have been announced for later this year. They’re set to kick off in mid-July and coincide with the number of festival appearances Josh Homme and co already have lined up for the summer.
The new run of dates begins with a slot at the Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria on July 13, and continues with further shows in Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Germany and Poland throughout the month.
Going into August, QOTSA will also make stops in Latvia, Estonia and Finland, before heading back to Germany for shows in Berlin and Bonn. The dates wrap up with a gig in Dublin, Ireland on August 20.

The new wave of tour dates will take place before the band heads over to the UK for their recently announced headline slot at Victorious Festival in Portsmouth. The 2025 edition will also see performances from Kings Of Leon, Vampire Weekend and more.
Other previously-announced festival sets the band have lined up include Øya 2025 alongside Charli XCX and Fontaines D.C., Electric Castle in Transylvania alongside Bicep, Justin Timberlake, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee with Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier and Luke Combs.
All upcoming shows come in celebration of their latest album ‘In Times New Roman’, and on the heels of a massive number of tour dates across the globe in 2023 and 2024. It also comes as frontman Josh Homme recently made his return to the live stage, after being forced to cancel a number of tour dates due to needing emergency surgery.
Details about what the surgery was for remain unclear, and announcing the news last year the band shared a statement which read: “Josh has been given no choice but to prioritise his health and to receive essential medical care through the remainder of the year.” The US tour dates affected will now be taking place this June.
At the end of 2023, before the health issue, Homme shed light on hopes for new material and said that he’ll “roll his sleeves up” so that the next Queens album won’t take so long to arrive. “There was too much time in between the last record [2017’s ‘Villains’] and this one,” he said.
The comments reflect those shared by guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and drummer Jon Theodore while at Download 2024, when the two hinted to NME that they had new material in the works.
“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,” Van Leeuwen said when asked about the band’s future plans. Theodore added: “There are definitely some aces in some sleeves so to speak…”
