Queens of the Stone Age: 'The End Is Nero' New Zealand Tour 2024
The Josh Homme-fronted group is touring Down Under for the first time since 2018.
Overview
They topped Triple J's Hottest 100 in 2002 over in Austrakia. They've featured Dave Grohl on drums. Their third studio album Songs for the Death is one of the all-time-great 00s records. They're Queens of the Stone Age, of course, and now they're bringing their latest tour Down Under in 2024, with the band heading our way for the first time in six years.
The Josh Homme-fronted group's The End Is Nero tour is their first trip to Australasia since 2018, and comes after their eighth album In Times New Roman... released in June 2023. Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore are giving their latest shows an apocalyptic theme, which fans can look forward to seeing in Wellington on Friday, March 1.
