Emerging from the 1990s scene in Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age, led by Joshua Homme, defy categorization. Their journey began with Homme's vision, transcending genre limitations to become a musical force of unparalleled brilliance. From hits like "No One Knows" to "Little Sister," and "My God is the Sun" to "The Way You Used To Do," their repertoire spans a vast sonic landscape. Rooted in rock yet infused with an unmistakable aura crafted by Homme and his collaborators, Queens of the Stone Age consistently mesmerize audiences. Comprised of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore, the band's evolution from desert "generator parties" to sold-out arenas and headlining major festivals is a testament to their enduring impact.
