Queens of the Stone Age live in Melbourne

Experience Queens of the Stone Age live on December 13th

Queens of the Stone Age are scheduled to perform at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia on December 13, 2026. The band is known for its distinctive hard rock sound, often characterized by heavy, fuzzed-out guitar riffs, complex rhythmic structures, and Josh Homme’s unique vocal delivery. Their music blends elements of stoner rock, desert rock, and alternative metal, evolving over a career spanning since 1997 with albums like *Rated R* and *Songs for the Deaf*.

Rod Laver Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Melbourne Park. Officially opened in 1985, it’s named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver. The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 14,820 for concerts and is a prominent location for large-scale entertainment events including concerts by international artists, major sporting competitions – notably the Australian Open tennis tournament – and other performances. It underwent significant redevelopment completed in 2000 ahead of the Sydney Olympics which included improvements to seating and corporate facilities. The arena features a retractable roof allowing for flexible event configurations. It remains one of Australia’s busiest and most recognizable indoor venues.
