Get ready, Estonia! Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA), the genre-defying rock icons, are bringing their unforgettable signature sound to the Unibet Arena Black Box on August 2, 2025. Known for their hypnotic blend of blues, hard rock, and electronic influences, the band promises an unforgettable night of raw power and musical innovation. SO GOOD will perform as a special guest.

Formed in 1996 by frontman Joshua Homme, QOTSA has become a force to reckon with in the global rock scene. With nine Grammy nominations and a string of critically acclaimed albums—including their trilogy of masterpieces, “...Like Clockwork”, “Villains”, and “In Times New Roman…”—the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music.

Joining Homme on stage are Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Michael Shuman (bass, backing vocals), Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar), and Jon Theodore (drums). Their dynamic chemistry, coupled with Homme’s falsetto vocals and innovative guitar work, makes QOTSA’s live performances a must-see experience.

From their breakout album “Rated R” and the iconic “Songs for the Deaf”—featuring collaborations with legends like Dave Grohl—to their latest work, QOTSA continues to captivate fans with their unorthodox scales, driving riffs, and haunting melodies.

Queens of the Stone Age is a band that defies easy categorization, blending the raw power of hard rock with the angular precision of stoner rock and the experimental flair of blues rock. From their debut album, described by Joshua Homme as “driving music” with solid, repetitive riffs, to their boundary-pushing follow-ups, they've always been a band willing to take risks. Rolling Stone famously highlighted the group's unique ability to fuse the gritty, macho rock of 1970s America with the hypnotic, drone-heavy vibes of German krautrock from the same era.

Each record in their catalog showcases a new facet of their sound. With “Rated R”, the band embraced a more eclectic approach, weaving in diverse instrumentation, guest artists, and multiple lead vocalists. Homme once described the album as an evolution: "Our first record announced our sound. This one added that we’re different and weird." They solidified their reputation as innovators with “Songs for the Deaf”, a critically acclaimed masterpiece featuring a revolving door of vocalists and unexpected elements like horn and string sections.

Even when exploring darker themes, such as on “Lullabies to Paralyze”, the band retained their signature complexity. Inspired by the grim imagery of Brothers Grimm folk tales, the album pushed beyond their earlier "driving" sound, introducing semi-hollow guitars and haunting melodies. Homme's inventive guitar techniques, often blending polka-inspired styles with blues and the innovative use of a unique scale, further cemented his reputation as a one-of-a-kind musician.

Whether crafting dance-oriented tracks on “Era Vulgaris” or shaping what Homme calls “robot rock”—a fusion of heavy rock and the repetitive structures of electronic music—Queens of the Stone Age remains an unstoppable force in modern rock. Their live performances are legendary, offering fans a visceral experience as powerful as the music itself. Experience the magnificent sound of QOTSA live as they perform their well-known hits, alongside tracks from their latest album.
