It has been a minute since the band last graced our shores in 2024, and they are returning with plenty of chaos in tow. Josh Homme and the lads are fresh off massive international runs and are locked in to deliver a brand new show. Expect a massive night packed with legendary bangers like No One Knows and Little Sister, alongside fresh material.
They are not coming alone either. The legendary Primus are on board to get the crowd moving, bringing their iconic alternative funk metal fusion back to the stage. Add in the chaotic art punk energy of Australia's Tropical Fuck Storm, and you have a massive lineup that will leave ears ringing in the best way possible.
The announcement comes right alongside their brand new single, Easy Street, which features guest vocals from Nikki Lane. The new track brings a perfect mix of psych synths and raw grit, proving the band has lost none of their legendary edge.
Tickets go on general sale Monday 20 July at 11am, with presales kicking off earlier. Do not sleep on this one, reckon it is going to be an absolute beauty of a night.
