Calling all Teenage Hand Models, Little Sisters, and Carnavoyeurs. Queens of the Stone Age are coming to town.

Joshua Homme and his bandmates will bring their “The End is Nero” tour to Houston’s 713 Music Hall on Saturday, December 9. The eight new stops also include the Moody Center in Austin on December 8 and the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on December 10. British rock band Spiritualized will open.

It will be the band’s first visit to Houston since they headlined the In Bloom Festival in 2018.

QOTSA is touring behind it’s latest album, In Times New Roman. Released in June, the album went to number one in four countries, including six charts in the U.S. — Vinyl, Independent, Alternative, Digital, Rock, and Hard Music album sales charts. Hailed as a return to the band’s hard rocking roots, it deals with such light-hearted subjects as Homme’s divorce from Distillers founder Brody Dale.

Judging by setlists from the band’s most recent stops, fans should expect a setlist that pulls from QOTSA’s entire, 20-plus year history, including fan favorites such as "No One Knows," "Little Sister," and "A Song for the Dead." If they’re taking requests, we’d like to hear "In The Fade." (Editor's note: Well played, Eric. "3’s & 7’s" for us.)

Tickets go on sale this Friday, September 22 via livenation.com. Various pre-sales are also available.
