Queens Of The Stone Age have announced a set of intimate shows in North America.

In a not-at-all-pretentious statement sharing the news, Josh Homme's band describe The Catacombs Tour as "A limited series of very special one-night-only evenings at a curated selection of North America’s most historic theaters.

"Comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion and enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour."

The title of a tour is a reference to the band's recent film, and soundtrack, Alive In The Catacombs, documenting their July 2024 performance in the world-famous Catacombs of Paris, the final resting place for millions of French citizens, interred in the 1700s.
