Country-rock artist Nikki Lane features on vocals, adding a gritty contrast to Josh Homme\u2019s unmistakable lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accompanying music video, directed by Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse from a concept by Josh Homme, delivers the band\u2019s trademark offbeat humour, following a bruised Josh being pursued by an eccentric cast of characters before ending with an unexpected twist celebrating outsiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few modern rock bands have built a catalogue as influential as Queens of the Stone Age. Since emerging from California\u2019s desert rock scene in the late 1990s, the band has become known for era-defining albums including Rated R, Songs for the Deaf, Lullabies to Paralyze and \u2026Like Clockwork, alongside hits such as \u201cNo One Knows\u201d, \u201cGo With the Flow\u201d, \u201cLittle Sister\u201d and \u201cThe Way You Used to Do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artist and Mastercard presales begin on Thursday, July 16th at 11am, followed by the Live Nation presale from Friday, July 17th at 11am. General public tickets go on sale at 11am on Monday, July 20th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a brand-new show, fresh music and two powerhouse support acts, Queens of the Stone Age\u2019s Adelaide performance is shaping up to be one of the biggest live rock events of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Drive, Adelaide<br \/>Tuesday 8 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MyState Bank Arena, Hobart<br \/>Friday 11 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne<br \/>Sunday 13 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterpay Arena, Sydney<br \/>Tuesday 15 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle<br \/>Wednesday 16 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane<br \/>Friday 18 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spark Arena, Auckland<br \/>Sunday 20 December<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livenation.com.au\/queens-of-the-stone-age-tickets-adp410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share Tweet Share Share Email &#13; &#13; Image by Andreas Neumann Queens of the Stone Age are heading&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":800874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136,375723],"class_list":["post-800873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-queens-of-stone-age"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/800874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=800873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=800873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
