During their UK gigs, Queens of the Stone Age will be supported by Coach Party, a four piece band from the Isle of Wight.
Some of Coach Party’s most listened to songs, as per Spotify, include Everybody Hates Me, FLAG (Feel Like A Girl), Weird Me Out and Can’t Talk, Won’t. The band released their most recent single Micro Aggression earlier this year.
In 2020, the band were tipped as “one to watch” by the Guardian, which described their music as “poppy yet experimental, and served with a conference that only comes from not hiding behind other people’s ideas”.
When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets will go live on Friday 21 April at 9am, with fans able to purchase tickets via Ticketmaster.
