Heavy rock legends Queen of the Stone Age are coming to Sidney Myer Music Bowl.

Formed by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age is what happens when a multidimensional musical entity outgrows the very genre it creates. Too prolific, ambitious and just plain brilliant to be limited by the confines of any genre.

Regularly hailed as one of the greatest live bands in existence, Queens of the Stone Age consists of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore. What started off as “generator parties” in the desert has evolved to sold out arenas and headlining the main stage of your favourite summer festival.

The End Is Nero tour is an invitation from the band to 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 to attend, this is where you belong. Leave your judgment at the door, bring anything and everything else.
