Josh Homme and co. have already announced headline shows in North America and across Europe for next year, with news of a UK leg expected shortly. They’ll be showcasing their ninth and latest studio album, ‘Perfecth’, which was released last Friday (October 30).

Durante uma entrevista com a NME sobre o disco, a QOTSA foi questionada sobre o que tinham em mente para os shows e se os fãs poderiam esperar uma vibe diferente da sua turnê “Catacombs”, mais enxuta e mais teatral.

O vocalista descreveu a atual era da Queens como seu “third act”, com o grupo querendo permanecer fora da zona de conforto.

Speaking about what the “third act” means to him, and how he’ll approach the music goinf forward, he added: “Well, I just felt that if the ‘Catacombs’ should ever happen, then it would signal a moment to pivot.

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but I’ve always felt that every artist has three phases that you go through. It’s important not to rush through them.

Homme continuou: “Para mim, aquela segunda fase foi guerra e ataque, pressionar botões e buscar o caos e prosperar nisso.”.

Em uma crítica de quatro estrelas, o NME elogiou “Perfecth” como a “obra mais íntima e aventureira até agora” de QOTSA, que os coloca em um “humor teatralmente adequado”.

O texto observou que a banda havia se libertado de seu “molde de rock habitual” para aproveitar “o mesmo espírito livre dos álbuns colaborativos ‘The Desert Sessions’, enquanto mergulha mais profundamente nas profundezas emocionais de ‘…”.

Homme explained previously: “[We’re] trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.”.

Tickets for Queens’ 2027 European tour go on general sale at 10am local time this Friday (November 6) – buy yours here. Find any remaining tickets for their North American leg here.

QOTSA’s ‘Catacombs’ trek followed their landmark Paris performance in 2024, which was captured for an accompanying live film and documentary.

The band have been touring extensively throughout 2026, including a run of North American stadium shows supporting Foo Fighters on their ‘Take Cover’ tour.

Their remaining shows this year include performances in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, before they return to Mexico City in March 2027 for a huge co-headline concert with Interpol.

Elsewhere in the recent interview with NME, Homme discussed his reworking of the Iggy Pop collaboration ‘Sunday’ on ‘Perfecth’, and opened up about whether they would ever work together again.
