Queens Of The Stone Age announce Alive in the Catacombs concert film 

Queens Of The Stone Age have unveiled plans for Alive in the Catacombs - a never-been-done-before concert film immortalising the band’s audience-free performance in the subterranean passages of Paris, the final resting place of millions of people. 

Due to premiere on 5th June, the film documents the first ever live concert staged in the catacombs, which QOTSA conducted in July 2024 and recorded in one take (with zero edits or overdubs added). The band carefully curated their setlist to span their whole discography, and reimagined each track specifically for the show’s awe-inspiring setting.

“If you’re ever going to be haunted, surrounded by several million dead people is the place,” Josh Homme has said of the move, which he apparently wanted to execute since he first visited the passages 20 years ago. “I’ve never felt so welcome in my life.” Continuing, he explains: “We’re so stripped down because that place is so stripped down… It would be ridiculous to try to rock there. All those decisions were made by that space. That space dictates everything, it’s in charge. You do what you’re told when you’re in there.”
