The desert rock icons finally bring their legendary live show to The Star Theatre for one night only.
After nearly three decades of shaping modern rock, Queens of the Stone Age will perform in Singapore for the very first time on Wednesday, December 2, 2026. The California band, led by frontman Josh Homme, brings its celebrated Catacombs tour to The Star Theatre at 8 p.m. for a one-night-only concert that fans across Southeast Asia have waited years to witness.
A Legacy Built on Unclassifiable Sound
Since forming in the late 1990s, QOTSA have carved out a singular space in rock music. Though often labeled desert rock, their sound defies easy categorization: hard rock riffs blend with psychedelic textures, bluesy grooves, electronic undertones, and even krautrock rhythms. Homme’s signature falsetto and hypnotic guitar work anchor it all. The band has earned nine Grammy nominations and influenced countless acts across genres, cementing its reputation as rock royalty.
Live performances are where QOTSA truly shine. Regularly hailed as one of the best touring bands on the planet, they’ve built a catalog packed with modern classics—from the thunderous “No One Knows” and “Go With the Flow” to the sultry “Make It Wit Chu.” Fresh off the release of new single “Easy Street,” their first new music since 2023’s In Times New Roman…, the band arrives in Singapore on the heels of a string of acclaimed international shows.
What to Expect From the Setlist
Based on their most recent London performance, fans can anticipate a career-spanning set. Early favorites like “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret” sit alongside era-defining anthems such as “3’s & 7’s” and “No One Knows.” Newer material, including “Easy Street,” will also feature prominently. But QOTSA are known for mixing things up night to night, so deep cuts and surprise selections remain a real possibility.

The concert will take place at The Star Theatre, an intimate indoor venue that puts audiences closer to the action than a typical arena would. Organizers expect a high-energy crowd, with fans likely on their feet from the opening riff.
