Desert rock veterans Queens of the Stone Age will return to New Zealand for the first time since 2018.

Following the release of their latest album, 'In Times New Roman...', the band have confirmed they'll bring their tour to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Frontman Josh Homme is 'excited' to bring the band back to New Zealand shores for the first time in years.

"I've always looked at going to New Zealand as a vacation- we're playing, but it feels exciting. I've been to New Zealand a number of times, but there's always such a great distance- it feels exciting."
