Queens Of The Stone Age have been announced as the first headliner of Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus festival.
Josh Homme and co will hit the city’s Don Valley Bowl on August 27 with support from Viagra Boys, Fat Dog, The Bug Club and So Good with more to be announced.
Pre-sale tickets go live on Wednesday February 19 at 9 AM, followed by general ticket sales on Friday February 21 at 9 AM.
Now in its third year, the team behind Rock N Roll Circus say that the 2025 event will be their biggest yet, with artists across three stages and jaw dropping circus acts.
Festival organiser Ali O’Reilly says “We’re taking Rock N Roll Circus to the next level in 2025. Bringing a band such as Queens of the Stone Age to Sheffield is a huge moment for us and we can’t wait to welcome them to the Big Top in August. They are the perfect act to open our celebrations and fit everything that our brand is trying to achieve. It’s been a long time since they’ve performed in this part of the world, and we’re honoured and excited to have them.”
Queens Of The Stone Age will also headline Victorious Festival in Portsmouth this summer. The band’s most recent album, ‘In Times New Roman…’, was released in 2023, reaching No.2 in the UK album chart.
