Queens of the Stone Age have announced a spring 2027 U.S. tour supporting Perfecth, their upcoming ninth studio album. The run will begin May 1 at Viejas Arena in San Diego and conclude May 24 at TD Garden in Boston.
Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp will join the band for every date on the U.S. itinerary. The general ticket sale is scheduled to begin Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. local time, following an artist presale opening Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans must register for the artist presale by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 25.
The tour announcement is part of a wider rollout for Perfecth, a nine-track Matador Records release due Oct. 30. Lead singer and guitarist Josh Homme co-produced the record with bassist Michael Shuman.

Before those dates, Queens of the Stone Age are scheduled for a run of November and December shows in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
The band’s 2027 live schedule is then set to resume March 6 at Estadio Ciudad de Los Deportes in Mexico City, where Queens of the Stone Age will perform with Interpol. Appearances at Lollapalooza Argentina, Chile and Brazil are also planned ahead of the U.S. leg.
A Halloween album celebration
The group is also extending the Perfecth campaign into Halloween with HalloQueen, a series of sponsored retail events taking place around the world on Oct. 31.
Fans are being encouraged to arrive in costume. Participating stores will offer attendees a chance to hear the new album, purchase exclusive merchandise and buy a limited-edition Perfecth picture disc.
Queens of the Stone Age have released three songs from the album so far: “Where the Goth Girls At?,” “Insignificant Other” and “Easy Street.”
ShowBiz Take
The spring tour places Perfecth at the center of an extensive live schedule rather than treating the album release as a stand-alone event. Between the overseas dates, the March 2027 Mexico City show, the three South American Lollapalooza appearances and the May U.S. run, the band has established a broad touring framework around its ninth studio record.
The choice of Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp as support across every U.S. stop also gives the itinerary a consistent lineup from its San Diego opening through the Boston finale.
The scale of the announcement is notable in the context of the band’s recorded touring results. According to Billboard Boxscore, Queens of the Stone Age have generated $42.4 million from 815,000 tickets sold across 201 shows. Those figures do not include festival performances or appearances as an opening act.
What Happens Next?
The next key dates are the Oct. 28 artist presale, the Oct. 29 general onsale and the Oct. 30 arrival of Perfecth. HalloQueen events will follow on Oct. 31, before the band begins its November and December international run and moves into its 2027 schedule.
