Queens of the Stone Age next month in Helsinki

American alternative rock band QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will play in Helsinki next month as a part of their new The `end is Nero Tour 2025. The concert will be at the venue Jäähalli (Helsinki) on August 4. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE was formed in Seattle in 1996. The band was founded by vocalist and guitarist Josh Homme shortly before he returned to his native Palm Desert, California. Homme has been the only constant member throughout multiple line-up changes; since 2013, the line-up has consisted of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, lap steel, keyboards, percussion, backing vocals), Michael Shuman (bass, keyboards, backing vocals), Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar, percussion, backing vocals), and Jon Theodore (drums, percussion).

The band has been nominated for 9 Grammy Awards: four for Best Hard Rock Performance, three for Best Rock Album, and one each for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. The band also has a large pool of contributors and collaborators and is known for incorporating elements of blues, electronica, and krautrock into its riff-oriented and rhythmic hard rock, coupled with Homme‘s distinct falsetto vocals and unorthodox guitar scales. Throughout its career, the band has been described as alternative rock, stoner rock, alternative metal, and hard rock.

The special guest for the evening will be London-based female music project fronted by Sophie Bokor-Ingram, SO GOOD.
