"Appropriate dress is encouraged for this very special evening at the theatre": Queens Of The Stone Age announce UK and European shows
The Catacombs tour follows the release of the Queens Of The Stone Age: Alive In The Catacombs film and live album

Queens Of The Stone Age have announced the UK and European legs of their upcoming Catacombs Tour. The schedule begins on November 18 at Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber in Milan, Italy, and wraps up on November 29 at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall. The tour also visits Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Antwerp.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 18, at 10am local from qotsa.com.
The new dates are in addition to the previously announced North American leg of the Catacomb tour, which begins in Chicago on October 2. Full dates below.
The Catacombs Tour follows in the subterrestrial footsteps of the band's Queens Of The Stone Age: Alive In The Catacombs film and live album, which was released last month and documents their performance last year in the Paris Catacombs, home to the remains of more than six million people.
"The Catacombs Tour will see QOTSA draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions and infuse it into reimagined versions that promise to twist the volume knob in both directions," boasts a statement from the band. "Enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.
"Appropriate dress is encouraged for this very special evening at the theatre."
Hawaiian shirts and clown shoes are probably a no-no, then.
