Queens of the Stone Age

Formed by Joshua Homme against the backdrop of California’s 1990s Palm Desert scene, Queens of the Stone Age have grown into one of rock’s most influential and uncompromising bands. Defying easy categorisation, the group has continually evolved across 8 acclaimed studio albums, blending hard rock, psychedelia, blues and alternative influences.

Regularly hailed as one of the world’s greatest live bands, Queens of the Stone Age features Joshua Homme alongside Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore. What began as generator parties in the desert has evolved into a globally celebrated live phenomenon, with the band’s explosive performances and uncompromising musicianship continuing to captivate audiences around the world.

SUPPORT

Primus

Originally formed in 1984, Primus have long stood apart as one of rock’s most original and uncompromising bands. Blending metal, funk, alternative, punk, country and experimental influences into a sound entirely their own, the trio became responsible for some of the most cutting-edge and inventive rock music of the 1990s. Primus went on to achieve global success, touring alongside some of rock’s biggest names and headlining the Lollapalooza Festival.

Following Tim Alexander’s return to the band, the classic Claypool-LaLonde-Alexander lineup reunited once again, reigniting the unmistakable chemistry that helped define Primus’ singular sound. Renowned for their virtuosic musicianship, eccentric creativity and unforgettable live performances, the band continue to captivate audiences.

SUPPORT

Tropical Fu*k Storm

Formed in 2016 following the hiatus of acclaimed Australian band The Drones, Tropical Fu*k Storm have earned a reputation as one of the most adventurous and unpredictable acts in contemporary rock. The band blend art rock, post-punk, experimental noise and psychedelia into a genre-defying sound renowned for its intensity, sharp social commentary and fearless creativity.

Their acclaimed catalogue continues to expand with their fourth studio album, Fairyland Codex. Recorded at the band’s Dodgy Brothers studio in Nagambie, Fairyland Codex explores themes of societal collapse through Tropical Fu*k Storm’s distinctive blend of chaos, wit and sonic experimentation.
