Queens of the Stone Age announced a 16-date US tour on October 22, 2026, running from May 1 at Viejas Arena in San Diego to May 24 at TD Garden in Boston. The shows will support the band’s forthcoming album Perfecth, with Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp listed as support across the US dates.

Where the May 2027 tour will stop

The route opens with four California shows: San Diego on May 1, Inglewood on May 2, Oakland on May 4 and Sacramento on May 5. Seattle follows on May 7. The announced itinerary also reaches Oregon, Utah and Colorado before continuing through the Midwest and eastern US. Billboard lists stops including Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Detroit ahead of the Boston finale.

The May run forms part of a wider 2027 schedule. Both reports list a March 6 show with Interpol at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City, followed by Lollapalooza appearances in Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Those dates precede the US tour rather than extending its 16-show count.

When Queens of the Stone Age tickets go on sale

The artist presale is scheduled to begin October 28 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general sale on October 29 at 10 a.m. local time. Billboard says fans seeking access to the artist presale must sign up by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on October 25. The two reports direct fans to the band’s website for dates and ticket information.

Perfecth and the band’s recent performances

Perfecth is due October 30, according to Billboard, which describes it as the band’s ninth studio album: a nine-track Matador Records release co-produced by singer and guitarist Josh Homme and bassist Michael Shuman. The outlet lists three released singles, ‘Where the Goth Girls At?,’ ‘Insignificant Other’ and ‘Easy Street.’

Loudwire reported that the band performed ‘Where the Goth Girls At’ on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 21, ahead of the tour announcement. Billboard also reports that the band has scheduled HalloQueen retail events for October 31, where fans can hear the album and buy a limited-edition picture disc.
