Queens of the Stone Age took the stage at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio on Friday for their first concert in three years. Over the course of the hour-long performance, the band ripped through an 11-song set that included the live debut of their new single, “Emotion Sickness.”
The rest of the set consisted of past gems, including “No One Knows,” “My God Is the Sun,” “Little Sister,” “Go With the Flow,” and “A Song for the Dead.” See our photos and watch fan-captured footage and see the full setlist below.
QOTSA are set to release their new album, In Times New Roman…, on June 16th via Matador Records. The band has several more festival appearances on its calendar, including Boston Calling, Riot Fest in Chicago, Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, and Louder Than Life in Louisville. Tickets are on sale here.
