Queens of the Stone Age Announce 2027 ‘Perfecth World Tour’ With Pixies
The 16-date North American run opens May 1 in San Diego, behind the band’s new album ‘Perfecth,’ out October 30.
Queens of the Stone Age are going back on the road. The band announced Thursday the first leg of its 2027 Perfecth World Tour.
The 16-date North American run starts May 1 at San Diego's Viejas Arena and closes May 24 at Boston's TD Garden. The Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp will open every show on the leg.
The tour supports the band's new album, Perfecth, which arrives October 30 on Matador Records. Frontman Josh Homme produced the record with bandmate Michael Shuman.
The band describes the album as a “creative kaleidoscope of the greatest human interests,” mapping “different forms of love: of family, friends, and others both significant and insignificant.”
Fans got a first taste Wednesday night. The band performed new single “Where the Goth Girls At?” live for the first time as the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
From there the routing moves up the West Coast — Inglewood, Oakland and Sacramento in the first week — then Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City and Red Rocks before heading through the Midwest and ending in Boston. The band called Thursday's announcement “the first dates,” so more shows may be on the way.
Artist presale sign-ups close October 25 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Presale begins October 28 at 10 a.m. local time, with the general on-sale October 29 at the same time.
The tour announcement comes in the middle of a busy stretch. The band still has 2026 dates left: a sold-out show Saturday in Reykjavik, Iceland, a Japan run in November, then Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand in December. Early 2027 brings Mexico City on March 6 with Interpol, followed by Lollapalooza stops in Argentina, Chile and Brazil from March 12 to 21.
Stadiums are not on the plan, though Homme has thought about it. “I've always wanted to be in a band's band, get the respect,” he said recently on the We Might Be Drunk podcast, recalling that Queens of the Stone Age opened for System of a Down in Europe at 80,000-seat venues, two nights running. “I just can't comprehend that.”
