Queens Of The Stone Age have regrettably called off the remaining nine concerts of their July 2024 European tour. This unexpected decision comes in the wake of frontman Josh Homme needing to undergo “emergency surgery.”
The band explained their difficult decision, stating: “Every effort was made to push through and play for you, but it is no longer an option to continue.”
As a result, the band will not be performing at the following scheduled events:
- July 10 – Festival Jardin Sonore – Vitrolles, FR
- July 13 – Pohoda Festival – Trencin, SK
- July 16 – Zitadelle Spandau – Berlin, DE
- July 17 – Colours of Ostrava – Ostrava, CZ
- July 18 – METAstadt – Vienna, AT
- July 20 – Electric Castle Festival – Cluj, RO
- July 23 – SRC Salata – Zagreb, HR
- July 24 – SRC Salata – Zagreb, HR
- July 27 – Athens Rocks – Athens, GR
Fans who hold tickets for festivals are advised to check the specific festival websites for the latest updates. Those who have tickets for the headline shows will be contacted directly by the point of purchase for more details.
The band’s last performance was on Saturday, July 6, in Milan, Italy. They had also canceled their appearance at the AMA Music Festival the previous night due to an unspecified illness.
This news is undoubtedly disappointing for all of those looking forward to their performances, but the health and well-being of Josh Homme take precedence during this challenging time.
