Following Queens Of The Stone Age‘s Monday announcement, in which they urged Tasmanian fans to “Keep Your Eyes Peeled Thursday,” the Palm Desert rockers have now made good on their professed love for Tassie and will play Hobart’s Odeon Theatre on Monday, 24th March.
The desert rock veterans’ long-awaited co-headline tour with industrial stalwarts Nine Inch Nails plus ex-Distillers singer Brody Dalle launches at the Sydney Entertainment Centre next week, but as frontman Josh Homme revealed to back in October, Tassie will be an intimate, “just us” affair.
Speaking to Triple J‘s The Doctor, Homme made his love for the island state clear, saying, “I would never miss Tassie for anything,” and adding, “I think the only show we’re not doing [with NIN] is Tassie, I think it’s just us.” Tickets hit sale 9:00am local time Wednesday, 5th March.
Homme himself has close ties to Australia in wife Brody Dalle (appearing on the NIN-QOTSA tour as support), who hails from Fitzroy, Melbourne, as well as multiple tours with various projects. In May of last year, Homme told Triple J that our fair shores are his “home away from home.”
