"All you big city folk," a message on the Queens of the Stone Age website reads, "Your time has come. You waited patiently while we rocked your small town brethren. Now we're coming to you."

They are referring, of course, to the small markets the band covered on their recent "Duluth Tour". But now, they're headed to several major metropolitan markets on their far-less-imaginatively-titled "QOTSA Fall Tour". Still, whatever you wanna call it, it's gonna rock your shit up proper-like, and that's no small feat in a venue of any size.

The Black Angels are among those supporting our Queens.
