QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Return to the Stage in Boston After Nearly a Year Away

Queens Of The Stone Age made their long-awaited return to the stage last night, June 10th, performing at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, MA—their first live show in nearly a year.

The band was sidelined in 2024 after frontman Josh Homme was forced to undergo surgery due to an undisclosed medical emergency. While Homme made a brief return in December during a tribute show for the late Mark Lanegan, this Boston performance marked QOTSA’s official return to full live form.

The setlist featured a mix of classics and deep cuts, including a few notable revivals. “Suture Up Your Future” (from 2007’s Era Vulgaris) was played for the first time since 2008, while “Keep Your Eyes Peeled” and “A Song For The Deaf” returned to the rotation for the first time since 2018.

Fan-filmed footage from the night has begun surfacing online, offering a glimpse into the band’s long-anticipated comeback. You can check out the full setlist and their upcoming tour dates below.
