Queens of the Stone Age are taking their ‘Perfecth World Tour’ across the Atlantic, announcing nine European concerts for June 2027 that will bring the band to Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Croatia. The newly revealed run kicks off June 13 at Gilde Parkbühne in Hannover, Germany, and concludes June 30 at Pula Arena in Croatia, with performances at historic outdoor venues, major arenas and summer festivals along the way. The announcement follows news of a North American tour featuring support from Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp, extending what promises to be another busy year for Josh Homme and company.
The European itinerary places Queens of the Stone Age in a variety of settings, beginning with an outdoor performance in Hannover before moving to France and Spain. From there, the band will travel through Italy and Germany before finishing the run in Croatia.
It’s a route that offers plenty of opportunities to experience the group’s distinctive combination of muscular guitar riffs, hypnotic grooves and unpredictable rock arrangements.
The German opening date at Gilde Parkbühne on June 13 will launch the European leg before Queens of the Stone Age head to Bordeaux for a June 15 appearance at Arkéa Arena. The following evening brings them to Bilbao Arena in Spain, beginning a stretch of performances across the country.
Spain receives three dates in total, including a June 20 appearance at Icónica Sevilla and a June 21 concert at Valencia’s Roig Arena.
Those shows offer fans in different parts of the country an opportunity to catch the group during a concentrated period of summer touring.
On June 23, Queens of the Stone Age will return to France for Festival de Nîmes, performing in a city celebrated for its extraordinary Roman architecture.
The European run continues June 27 at Parco San Valentino in Pordenone, Italy, followed by a June 28 appearance at Munich’s Tollwood Festival.
The final scheduled performance takes place June 30 at Pula Arena in Croatia, an ancient Roman amphitheatre that has become one of the country’s most distinctive concert venues.
For a band whose live performances thrive on atmosphere and intensity, the combination of modern arenas, outdoor festivals and historic amphitheatres provides a striking collection of settings.
And the new dates expand an already substantial touring schedule.
Queens of the Stone Age previously announced the North American leg of the ‘Perfecth World Tour’, which begins May 1, 2027, at Viejas Arena in San Diego and concludes May 24 at TD Garden in Boston.
The Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp are scheduled to support the band throughout that North American run, bringing together three acts with very different musical approaches.
Pixies have long been recognized as one of alternative rock’s most influential bands, with their distinctive combination of quiet passages, explosive guitars and unconventional songwriting helping shape the sound of generations of musicians.
Their catalogue includes enduring songs such as “Where Is My Mind?”, “Here Comes Your Man” and “Debaser,” recordings that remain central to the group’s reputation.
Wheelchair Sports Camp bring another perspective to the lineup through their genre-crossing approach, incorporating hip-hop, jazz and experimental influences.
Together, the supporting artists give the North American concerts a particularly eclectic musical character, placing Queens of the Stone Age alongside performers with established identities of their own.
The European announcement does not identify support acts for those nine performances.
For Queens of the Stone Age, the new tour continues a long history of commanding live audiences through a sound that combines heavy guitars with an unusually rhythmic approach to rock music.
Founded by Josh Homme in the 1990s, the band emerged from the California desert rock scene and gradually developed a musical identity that drew from hard rock, psychedelia, punk and alternative music.
Their breakthrough album ‘Songs for the Deaf’ introduced a wider audience to songs including “No One Knows” and “Go with the Flow,” establishing the group as a major force in modern rock.
Later albums such as ‘Lullabies to Paralyze’, ‘Era Vulgaris’, ‘…Like Clockwork’ and ‘Villains’ expanded their musical range, introducing increasingly adventurous arrangements while maintaining the distinctive guitar-driven sound associated with Homme.
Their 2023 album ‘In Times New Roman…’ continued that evolution, bringing sharp songwriting and energetic performances into another chapter of the band’s career.
Across those recordings, Queens of the Stone Age have built a catalogue that lends itself especially well to live performance.
Songs driven by repetitive grooves can become extended musical experiences onstage, while their more aggressive material provides the kind of energy audiences expect from a major rock concert.
That combination has helped the group establish a reputation as a formidable live act, capable of filling arenas and delivering memorable festival performances.
And their touring history continues to demonstrate the commercial appeal of that approach.
Queens of the Stone Age previously joined Foo Fighters for the North American ‘Take Cover Tour’, which travelled throughout the summer and fall.
For Queens of the Stone Age, the upcoming ‘Perfecth World Tour’ creates another opportunity to build on that momentum.
The European dates also demonstrate the band’s continued international appeal, bringing their music to audiences across several countries in less than three weeks.
The schedule combines standalone concerts with festival appearances, giving fans different ways to experience the group.
Festival performances often place bands before audiences who may be discovering them for the first time, while headline arena shows provide opportunities for longer sets and a concert experience centred on a single artist.
Queens of the Stone Age have spent decades navigating both settings, building a live reputation that has helped sustain their popularity across multiple album cycles.
The band’s ability to move between intimate musical details and explosive rock arrangements makes those performances a major part of their appeal.
And with the tour beginning in North America before continuing to Europe, 2027 is shaping up to offer plenty of opportunities for fans to hear that music live.
The nine-date European leg currently concludes in Croatia at the end of June, although no additional performances beyond those announced have been confirmed in the supplied itinerary.
Tickets and further information are available through the band’s official website.
With Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp joining the North American concerts and an assortment of European arenas and festivals on the schedule, the ‘Perfecth World Tour’ is building into a substantial international outing.
For fans hoping to hear “No One Knows,” “Go with the Flow” and the rest of Queens of the Stone Age’s formidable catalogue in person, next summer is already looking busy.
