Desert rock pioneers Queens Of The Stone Age have announced three UK shows. The short runs of dates kicks off at The Piece Hall in Halifax on June 20, then heads to the seaside and Margate’s Dreamland amusement park on June 22, before finishing the following night at Cardiff Castle in Wales.
Tickets will be on general sale from Friday April 21 at 9am UK time, with an artist presale beginning at 9am tomorrow. Support at all three dates will come from Isle Of Wight-based indie hopefuls Coach Party.
The three dates are part of QOTSA's European summer schedule, which sees them taking in festivals in Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal.
The band also have a number of US outdoor shows lined up, although yesterday they announced that they were pulling out of their scheduled performance at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida, next month.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, QOTSA are no longer able to perform at this year’s Welcome to Rockville," said the band in a statement. "We are disappointed to miss playing for you at such a great festival and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
