Queens of the Stone Age confirm only UK headline show of 2025 - and this little-known website is selling tickets
After dropping hints online, Queens of the Stone Age have confirmed that they will be performing in the UK this summer, and we know where to get tickets.
The American rock band will headline the northern leg of the Rock N Roll Circus on Wednesday, August 27 at Sheffield's Utilita Arena, and if you missed out on Black Sabbath, this could be a chance to redeem yourself.
Formed by Joshua Homme in 1996, the Californian rock group have released eight albums and are best known for hits including No One Knows, Little Sister, and Emotion Sickness. The American band last performed in the UK in November 2023 as part of their European tour.
