Fresh off a string of summer concerts, Queens of the Stone Age have announced The Catacombs Tour, in support of the release of their newest project, Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs.
“The conception of The Catacombs Tour was inspired in large part by the band members’ collective experience during the creation of their Alive in the Catacombs cinematic and musical opus,” explains a press release. “Comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion, The Catacombs Tour will see QOTSA draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions and infuse it into reimagined versions that promise to twist the volume knob in both directions. Enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.”

Notably, the press release adds that “appropriate dress is encouraged” because “you’ll want to look as good as the music is going to sound on this very special evening at the theater,” which… I’ll just say is interesting… but fine, I’ll make sure to wear my nicest black band t-shirt.
