Queens of the Stone Age Announce Short Tour
Queens of the Stone Age have announced a few European dates-- mostly festivals-- in anticipation of their forthcoming Lullabies to Paralyze follow-up, Era Vulgaris. As previously reported, the record is due out in June and features contributions from Julian Casablancas, Trent Reznor, Mark Lanegan, and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. Queens' tour kicks off in London on June 14 and ends in Glasgow at the T in the Park festival on July 8. But they'll probably schedule a bunch more dates soon.
Dates:
06-14 London, England - Hyde Park (Wireless Festival)
06-15 Leeds, England - Harewood House (Wireless Festival)
06-18 Milan, Italy - Alkatrazz
06-24 Luxembourg, Luxembourg - Rock a Field Festival
06-26 Arendal, Norway - Hove Festival
06-28 Werchter, Belgium - Rock Werchter Festival
07-08 Glasgow, Scotland - T in the Park
