There’s no place like with Homme.
Queens of the Stone Age announced they’re striking out on their 2025 ‘The Catacombs Tour’ in support of their recently-released five-song EP “Alive In The Catacombs.”
While out and about, the “No One Knows” rockers will hit “intimate” theaters and symphony halls all over North America from October through November.
They’re currently slated to close the first leg of the two-month U.S. and Canada fall run at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Friday, Oct. 10.
The band shared on Instagram that these concerts will be “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.”
At the moment, the Seattle natives are currently wrapping their ongoing 2023 ‘The End Is Nero Tour’ — which was extended in February — after taking a brief respite in 2024 when the band cancelled (and subsequently rescheduled) a number of shows due to lead singer and frontman Josh Homme needing emergency surgery.

Most recently, Homme and the band rocked Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion on June 21. According to Set List FM, here’s what they took to the stage that night.
01.) “A Song for the Deaf”
02.) “No One Knows”
03.) “3’s & 7’s”
04.) “Paper Machete”
05.) “Smooth Sailing”
06.) “My God Is the Sun”
07.) “Emotion Sickness”
08.) “If I Had a Tail”
09.) “Time & Place”
10.) “Carnavoyeur”
11.) “Kalopsia”
12.) “Misfit Love”
13.) “Make It Wit Chu”
14.) “I Sat by the Ocean”
15.) “Little Sister”
16.) “Go With the Flow”
17.) “A Song for the Dead”
On June 13, QotSA dropped the five-song EP “Alive In The Catacombs.”
The mini-album is a stripped-down, string-heavy vulnerable affair that starts slow before building to a softer climax than the group is typically known for. Think 2004 “Funeral” era Arcade Fire but led by Homme and you’re not a million miles away from what the band is bringing to the table here.
Standouts include the powerful, sea shanty-esque album opener “Running Joke/Paper Machete,” gentle, lilting “Kalopsia” and the pitter-patter-y “I Never Came” closer. Each is unexpectedly beautiful in its own unique way.
