How to get Queens of the Stone Age tickets as new UK 2023 tour dates go live
Queens of the Stone Age are setting out on a second UK tour in 2023 in support of their new album, Times New Roman. Here’s how to get tickets to see them live.
Growing up, we got all of our music knowledge from the MTV Rocks television channel. If there was a brand new Red Hot Chili Peppers song or a Cage the Elephant music video, that’s where we’d hear about it, and who can forget the buzz when Arctic Monkeys released the music video to Do I Wanna Know from their fifth studio album, AM?
It was when we were glued to the silver screen that we saw Queen of the Stone Age’s Smooth Sailing music video. From that moment on (2013 to be precise), we knew we’d be firm Queens of the Stone Age fans. So, we were thrilled to hear the American rock band is planning a huge world tour this November.
This week, Queens of the Stone Age announced the UK and European legs of their The End is Nero tour, just a week after announcing the North American dates.
This November, the legendary band will be heading to major venues in London, Manchester, Birmingham and more, alongside special guests The Chats and Deep Tan.
The tour will be in support of their new album, Times New Roman, which is set for release on Friday, 16th June.

It will also come off the back of the band's upcoming UK tour this June, which happens to be their first tour in five years. In April it was announced that the Queens of the Stone Age would be playing a number of outdoor shows at Halifax’s The Piece Hall, Dreamland in Margate, and Cardiff Castle.
Queens of the Stone Age formed in 1996 in California’s Palm Desert, and released their self-titled debut album two years later. When speaking about the band’s choice of name, frontman and guitarist Josh Homme said: “Kings would be too macho. The Kings of the Stone Age wear armour and have axes and wrestle.
"The Queens of the Stone Age hang out with the Kings of the Stone Age's girlfriends when they wrestle... Rock should be heavy enough for the boys and sweet enough for the girls." Sounds like our kind of band!
After the release of 2000’s Rated R album, Queens of the Stone Age soon became a hot topic, assisted by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl who championed the band in interviews. The band invited Grohl to join them for their third album, Songs for the Deaf, which produced huge hits like No One Knows and Go With the Flow.
In the years that followed, the American rock band released 2005’s Lullabies to Paralyze and 2012’s …Like Clockwork. The latter included a stellar line-up of artists like Elton John, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, and Grohl returned, too.
Here’s how you can secure tickets to hear belters like Feel Good Hit of the Summer and The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret live in the UK this winter.
