Queens of the Stone Age — Auckland
Founded by Josh Homme in 1996, Queens of the Stone Age blend hard rock, alternative, psychedelia and desert rock and are one of the most influential rock bands of the past three decades, with nine Grammy nominations. Live Nation says it is the band’s first visit to the region since 2024, seven outdoor and arena shows with Primus and Australian band Tropical F*ck Storm as special guests. Auckland closes the run on Sunday 20 December 2026 at Spark Arena; tickets still on Ticketmaster on 13 October ran NZD 99–280.
