News: Queens Of The Stone Age
Watch Queens Of The Stone Age’s Glastonbury Fan-Setlist
Queens of the Stone Age have been going hard and heavy on tour supporting their self-titled first album, which they re-released earlier this year. They played their last big send-off this past weekend at the UK’s massive Glastonbury festival, before heading into the studio for a marathon recording sessions before heading back out on the road in late July.
Frontman Joshua Homme confirmed to Zane Lowe on his BBC Radio 1 show that “We’re going to take our one last break that we would get for a month, come back and do Glastonbury, then immediately jump in the studio. Our record will be done by the end of the year. We have enough songs.” Yes, a new Queens album is on the way.
With the announcement of their headlining set on the Other Stage at Glastonbury, the band decided to skip the self-titled run-through and launch a vote for fans to pick their favorite QOTSA tracks and they would make up the set.
Check out the highlights from the Queens’ set below, as well as the show setlist beneath it. Fans got a gold mine of goods, I’ll tell you that much.
With the results counted the setlist was as follows:
01. Feel Good Hit Of The Summer
02. Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret
03. Millionaire
04. Burn The Witch
05. Plaid
06. Better Living Through Chemistry
07. Make It Wit Chu
08. Little Sister
09. Fun Machine
10. 3′s and 7′s
11. First It Giveth
12. Go With The Flow
13. No One Knows
14. Song For The Dead
As for the new Queens album, Homme told Zane the following: “We’re at a weird moment where we really don’t feel like we have anything to prove. We just want to play to the people that are into us and we want to play right at them.”
Sounds good to us.
Special thanks to Rocko at SomeKindofAwesome for the clip!
Seeing QOTSA doing the debut album in Glasgow totally restored my faith in them. They were fucking phenomenal. It kinda sucks how much Joey C has mellowed though. Tighter but far less brutal.
This is one of the only good things apart from Primal Scream I’ve seen from Glastonbury this year. If Homme was being accurate about the new record following the trancey elements of the debut album, QOTSA’s best is probably yet to come.
I’m with stew, I can’t imagine the next record being anything but transcendent.
Not that they ever conformed due to label pressures…but you have to think that without anyone or anything holding them back in any way at this point…that they have unlimited potential.
It has been 4 years and I’m starving for more.
Sounds off a bit from the video…but this is still fuckin delicious! Love the lighting as it gets darker and the fan with the flare during Go With The Flow!
Michael Shuman has really come to flourish as the replacement bass player.
I agree; Mikey is such a solid player. Anybody who still whines about Nick’s absence seriously needs to remove themselves from the collective gene pool.
Best. Setlist. Ever.
Can’t wait to see them for the third time this year in Vegas. :)
