Queens of the Stone Age will open the U.S. leg of their 2027 Perfecth world tour at Viejas Arena in San Diego on Saturday, May 1. Pixies and Wheelchair Sports Camp support on every date of the run. The desert and stoner rock band’s run backs Perfecth, the new QOTSA album out Oct. 30 on Matador Records.
QOTSA at Viejas Arena: Tickets and Times
Viejas Arena’s event page lists doors at 5:30 p.m. and a 6:30 p.m. start. The arena is at 5500 Canyon Crest Drive on the San Diego State University campus. General on-sale is Thursday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. local time. Matador says the presale starts Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans had to sign up for the artist presale by Oct. 25 at 11:59 p.m. ET, so that window has already closed. One ticket aggregator lists an Oct. 27 presale; that date doesn’t match Matador’s announcement.
Ticket prices haven’t been published. Viejas Arena is cashless, with no-fee cash-to-card kiosks behind the Main Gate ticket office and at Gate 3. It’s also a clear-bag venue: clear bags up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus small purses up to 4.5″ x 6.5″. Backpacks aren’t allowed. The venue also warns of construction delays when exiting onto Canyon Crest Drive.
Perfecth and “Where The Goth Girls At?”
QOTSA gave “Where The Goth Girls At?” its live debut on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon the night before Matador announced the tour on Oct. 22. The album’s earlier songs include “Insignificant Other” and “Easy Street,” which features Nikki Lane. QOTSA will mark the release with “HalloQueen” retail events on Oct. 31, where participating record stores will sell a limited Perfecth picture disc.
