Queens Of The Stone Age will unveil the cinematic realization of a dream on June 5 when they premiere Alive In The Catacombs, an audiovisual of the band’s long-rumored performance in the tunnels of the famed Catacombs Of Paris. Filmed and recorded in July 2024, Queens Of The Stone Age: Alive In The Catacombs features a setlist spanning the band’s catalog with each song chosen and epically reimagined for the Catacombs. 

Homme had dreamt of staging a QOTSA performance in the Catacombs since his first visit nearly 20 years ago. The city of Paris, however, had never granted permission to any artist to play within the sacred tunnels. Alive In The Catacombs has Queens Of The Stone Age stripped to their barest essence. McGyver-ing a car battery to power an electric piano. Every song was recorded live in a complete take with no overdubs or edits.

The film will be available at qotsa.com with exclusive access to behind the scenes footage in addition to full streaming and download access if ordered by June 7th. An audio only version will be announced in the coming weeks via Matador Records. 

Homme said, “If you’re ever going to be haunted, surrounded by several million dead people is the place. I’ve never felt so welcome in my life.”
