Queens of the Stone Age (Press)
American rock band Queens of the Stone Age will perform at Pula Arena on 30 June 2027, bringing their European tour to one of Croatia’s most iconic historic venues.
The concert will mark the band’s return to Croatia, two years after they performed at Zagreb’s Šalata stadium on two consecutive nights.
The upcoming show will feature music from their latest album, Perfetch, alongside some of the biggest hits from their three-decade career.
The nine-track album explores themes of love, family, friendship, loss and personal change. Produced by frontman Josh Homme and bassist Michael Shuman, it draws inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi, the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold.
The album includes the singles Run Away From the Mob, Where The Goth Girls At?, Insignificant Other and Easy Street. The closing track, Run Away From the Mob, was originally recorded in 2013 with Dave Grohl on drums before being completed for the new release.
Formed in 1996 from the remains of influential desert rock band Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age have become one of the most recognised names in modern rock.
The current line-up features Josh Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore.
Their catalogue includes internationally recognised songs such as No One Knows, Go With The Flow, Little Sister, My God Is the Sun and Make It Wit Chu. The band has also received multiple Grammy nominations and achieved major chart success, including a Billboard No. 1 album with …Like Clockwork.
Tickets for the Pula concert go on sale on Friday, 6 November 2026, at 10:00 through the Core Event ticketing system, as well as at Dirty Old Shop, Rockmark and Dallas Music Shop.
Starting prices are €67 for standing (Parter), €89 for the grandstand (Tribina) and €59 for the grass area above the stands (Trava poviše tribine).
The performance will bring Queens of the Stone Age to the Roman amphitheatre for what is set to be one of Croatia’s major international rock concerts of summer 2027.
