After a triumphant return on the battlegrounds of Boston Calling and Sonic Temple, Queens Of The Stone Age have announced the details of their North American tour, which will kick off on August 3 in Sterling Heights, MI.
Queens Of The Stone Age and Citi pre-sales begin Tuesday, June 6 at 10 AM, local time, with public on-sale following Friday June 9, 10 AM, local time. The east coast leg of the tour will feature support from Phantogram and The Armed. Viagra Boys and Jehnny Beth will support on the mid-west and west coast dates.
The End Is Nero tour is an invitation from Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore to come celebrate the end of the world, which we hear is “in a month or two." They would like to encourage the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between to attend, this is where you belong. Leave your judgment at the door, bring anything and everything else.
In Times New Roman… will be available digitally and physically on June 16 via Matador Records. On the eve of release fans are invited to ring in the long awaited album at Midnight Club parties taking place at record shops and pubs across 23 countries. The Midnight Club starts at 11 PM, June 15 and will feature giveaways, exclusive merch including limited edition colored vinyl, and - in a few select locations - signed merchandise and ticket giveaways. Midnight Club will provide the QOTSA faithful with a first chance to hear In Times New Roman… in its entirety, amongst friends, family and of course appropriate levels of bacchanalia.
