Queens Of The Stone Age are preparing for another major American outing, mapping out a sixteen-date arena run for May 2027. The newly scheduled dates support the group's ninth studio release, Perfecth, and bring along Pixies as primary support, with Denver alternative hip-hop group Wheelchair Sports Camp rounding out the entire traveling bill.
This stretch serves as the first leg of what the band has titled the Perfecth World Tour, with announcements on their social media pages confirming that international legs will follow later. The live run starts on May 1 at Viejas Arena in San Diego, moving through California and the Pacific Northwest with stops in Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and Portland. From there, the tour heads east, including an open-air stop at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, alongside indoor arena dates in Saint Paul, Rosemont, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. The run concludes on May 24 at TD Garden in Boston.
Ticketing follows a specific schedule over late October. Those wishing to participate in the artist pre-sale must register before Sunday, October 25 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. Registered fans can purchase tickets starting Wednesday, October 28 at 10am local time, after which general public access opens on Thursday, October 29 at 10am local time.
The announcement arrives just before the official release of Perfecth, which lands on October 30 via Matador Records. The project follows their 2023 release, In Times New Roman..., but takes an intentionally fragmented musical direction. Josh Homme explained that the songwriting process was built so that every song feels as if it originates from a separate musical world. According to Homme, that stylistic variety helps thread together themes of love, lust, poor judgment, and the hard-won perspective left behind once the dust settles. Three preview tracks have surfaced ahead of the full album: Easy Street, Insignificant Other, and Where The Goth Girls At?, the last of which was recently performed live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The spring 2027 tour extends a notably busy live calendar for Queens Of The Stone Age. The band logged heavy mileage throughout 2026, including North American stadium dates supporting Foo Fighters on their Take Cover tour. Additional 2026 concerts take the group to Iceland, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand, followed by a co-headlining appearance alongside Interpol in Mexico City in March 2027.
Pixies join the May bill after a busy stretch of their own. Across 2026, the alternative rock pioneers celebrated their fortieth anniversary with extensive tours across the UK and Europe, paired with catalog reissues of Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde. Their latest album, 2024's The Night The Zombies Came, introduced bassist Emma Richardson to the studio lineup. Guitarist Joey Santiago has noted that the band remains active with their creative habits, remarking that they continue to work within their established formula and intend to gather another collection of material during an upcoming autumn break.
