Queens Of The Stone Age are back in New Zealand for the first time since 2017 and are all set to rock out across the country.
Josh Homme and co. will be playing one show each in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, with tickets still available to all three concerts here.
They'll kick proceedings off tomorrow at Spark Arena before heading south to the capital's TSB Bank Arena on Friday, finishing up at The Garden City's Wolfbrook Arena on Sunday. Who's fucking ready?!
The fellas changed their setlist around for each Australia show, but here's a general idea of the songs you can expect to hear. They'll also be supported by Kiwi band Earth Tongue and Aussie outfit Pond.
