How to Get QOTSA Tickets in 2027

There are two ways in. The artist presale comes first.

Artist presale: Wednesday, October 28, through Ticketmaster.
Presale sign-up deadline: Sunday, October 25 at 11:59 p.m. ET. That's tomorrow, and you have to sign up through the artist's presale link.
General on-sale: Thursday, October 29 at 10 a.m. local time.

Try the presale if you can. Arena shows with a draw like this tend to go fast, and the Red Rocks and TD Garden dates are the ones we'd watch.

Why Is QOTSA Touring With a New Album Coming?

The tour backs the band's ninth album, Perfecth. It comes out October 30, 2026 on Matador Records. Josh Homme and Michael Shuman produced it.

It follows 2023's In Times New Roman.... Three singles are out so far:

"Easy Street" (featuring Nikki Lane), released in July
"Insignificant Other"
"Where the Goth Girls At?"

The video for "Where the Goth Girls At?" was directed by Christopher Gruse and Tony Wolski and features Steve Agee.

Queens of the Stone Age Setlist Predictions

No setlist has been released yet. These are just guesses.

We'd expect the three singles to be in the set, since the tour is built around the new album. Other reported Perfecth tracks include "It's Only Love," "Mono," "From the Cliff," "Sunday," "Phantom Limb," and "Run Away From the Mob." Any of them could show up, but nothing is confirmed.

Possible Surprise Guests on the QOTSA Tour

No guests have been announced. Here's one guess.

Nikki Lane is featured on "Easy Street," so a cameo on that song would make sense. That's our hunch, not a plan the band has shared.

What Does the Pixies Tour Mean for QOTSA?

This is a big step up in scale. It's 16 arenas in 24 days, with a bigger band opening every night, and it comes right after a run through Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and South America.

It also gives Perfecth a long US push in front of a lot of people. Pairing it with Pixies means many fans will see both bands in one night.
