Queens Of The Stone Age announce one-off Tassie charity gig

Just two weeks out of their 13-date Australian tour, Queens Of The Stone Age have announced a special concert at Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) with all funds to go to charity.

“Playing Tasmania is special for me. I sit with Brody’s Mum and enjoy the wild, utterly Australian beauty,” vocalist Josh Homme said.

“I think Mona is a perfect example of Tassie individuality, so playing there is an honour. As a token of our appreciation, we will donate all proceeds to the Royal Hobart Hospital Children’s Ward.”

Due to the intimate nature of the gig (Mona’s Nolan Gallary has a capped capacity of 450 people), Frontier Touring have implemented strict anti-scalping measures.

No physical tickets will be issued with a limit of two tickets per person. Entry will be via an email system which will involve a physical check in on the night.

The Tassie show will take place on Monday, September 3 with tickets on sale from 4pm, Thursday, August 16.

Queens Of The Stone Age’s Australian tour will be supported by C.W. Stoneking and The Chats.
