Queens Of The Stone Age has announced a short run of dates in Australia/New Zealand, marking the band’s first tour since 2014. Plus, the band is signed on for an appearance at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival.

The trip Down Under is booked in July, concluding with a stop at Splendour In The Grass in Yelgun, Australia.

Note that some of the festivals are listed as date spans because the daily lineups haven’t been confirmed.

A Frontier Members presale for the new dates begins April 10. Tickets go on sale to the general public April 12.

In other QOTSA news, the band is hinting at something else to come. The group simply posted a graphic saying “Coming TwentyFive” on its social media pages with no indication whether it involved new music or perhaps a U.S. tour.
