It\u2019s raw, it\u2019s vulnerable and the crowd ate up every second of this soul-stirring performance.<\/p>\n<p>One act down, two more to go. Next up, QotSA ratcheted up the intensity building an intentionally foreboding atmosphere. The stage glows red, the orchestra expands, and so does the sounds. This time around, Homme trades in the work light for a meat cleaver as he and the band mash-up \u201cSomeone\u2019s in the Wolf\u201d and \u201cStraight Jacket Fitting,\u201d as well as \u201cMosquitos\u201d with a ferocious cover of Them Crooked Vulture\u2019s \u201cSpinning In Daffodils.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>QotSA closed the show more in step with what you\u2019d expect from the popular qyintet. Homme takes up his guitar, and the lights brighten. The outfit delivers \u201cYou Got A Killer Scene There, Man,\u201d to a roaring crowd, which, to be fair, has been appropriately supportive and vocal for the entirety of the off-kilter yet artsy show. It\u2019s clear that most, if not all, the fans in attendance are die-hard fans (or \u201cCavepeople\u201d as they affectionately call themselves). Sure, \u201cAlive In The Catacombs\u201d<em> <\/em>is arguably a bit of a departure from their earlier works \u2014\u00a0especially for those who still associate the group with the fist-pumping \u201cGo With The Flow\u201d\u00a0\u2014 but this tour is reflective of how much QotSA has evolved over the decades, proving their salt as genuine entertainers and not just an alternative rock band from the \u201990s who are \u2018\u201cstill playing.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Homme is like a hybrid ringmaster\/ emcee, dressed to the nines in a suit, amicably bantering between songs and going into the crowd. That, along with the expertly-employed orchestra make every song sound more dramatic and spectacular \u2014 especially when they rock out to the mystical \u201cFortress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final verdict: <\/strong>Even if you\u2019re not a die-hard QOTSA fan, \u2018The Catacombs Tour\u2019 is worth checking out for the theatrics. Although it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll feel compelled to throw devil horns, the songs will stick with you long after the encore.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The second North American leg of Queens of the Stone Age\u2019s \u2018Catcombs Tour\u2019 takes place Nov. 8-21. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vividseats.com\/queens-of-the-stone-age-tickets\/performer\/2797?utm_source=nypost.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article-embedded&amp;wsUser=1006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-nyp-affiliate=\"true\">Grab tickets here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Queens of the Stone Age tour schedule 2025<\/h2>\n<p>A complete calendar including all North American (and a single European) dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Queens of the Stone Age set list<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.setlist.fm\/setlist\/queens-of-the-stone-age\/2025\/beacon-theatre-new-york-ny-4b45b7e6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Set List FM<\/a>, here\u2019s what Homme and co. performed at New York City\u2019s Beacon Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Alive in the Catacombs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>01.) \u201cRunning Joke \/ Paper Machete\u201d<\/p>\n<p>02.) \u201cKalopsia\u201d<\/p>\n<p>03.) \u201cVillains of Circumstance\u201d<\/p>\n<p>04.) \u201cSuture Up Your Future\u201d<\/p>\n<p>05.) \u201cI Never Came\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Set II<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>06.) \u201cSomeone\u2019s in the Wolf \/ A Song for the Deaf \/ Straight Jacket Fitting\u201d<\/p>\n<p>07.) \u201cMosquito Song\u201d<\/p>\n<p>08.) \u201cKeep Your Eyes Peeled\u201d<\/p>\n<p>09.) \u201cSpinning in Daffodils\u201d (Them Crooked Vultures cover)<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Set III<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>10.) \u201cYou Got a Killer Scene There, Man\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>11.) \u201cHideaway\u201d<\/p>\n<p>12.) \u201cThe Vampyre of Time and Memory\u201d<\/p>\n<p>13.) \u201cAuto Pilot\u201d<\/p>\n<p>14.) \u201cEasy Street\u201d<\/p>\n<p>15.) \u201cFortress\u201d<\/p>\n<p>16.) \u201c\u2026Like Clockwork\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Encore<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>17.) \u201cLong Slow Goodbye\u201d (Josh and Mike a cappella)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Queens of the Stone Age new music<\/h2>\n<p>On June 13, QotSA dropped their short but delectable five-song EP \u201cAlive In The Catacombs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mini-album is a stripped-down, string-heavy, vulnerable affair that starts slow before building to a softer climax than the group is typically known for.
