Queens Of The Stone Age have just rolled out a 27-city summer/fall tour in support of their upcoming album, titled "In Times New Roman…," which drops on June 16th. The trek, which marks the band's first outing in three years, kicks off on August 3rd in Sterling Heights, Michigan at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill and wraps on October 8th in Sacramento, California with a performance at the Aftershock festival
Opening for the band throughout August will be Phantogram and the Armed — with Viagra Boys and Jehnny Beth supporting Queens for the September and October dates.
Queens frontman Josh Homme told us a while back that once an album is finished, he can't wait to get out there and tour it: ["I think any time you have a bunch of new songs, you're leaning on a gate waiting for someone to open it, y'know? And so I'm just gonna lean on the gate until they open that sucker, and then I'm gonna do everything I have to do."] SOUNDCUE (:11 OC: . . . have to do)
