RAISE $20,000 TO SUPPORT ROYAL HOBART HOSPITAL PAEDIATRICS WARD AT MONA ACOUSTIC BENEFIT

SHARE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF

'THE WAY YOU USED TO DO' LIVE AT MONA Having left a trail of ecstatically exhausted fans in its wake from Niagara Falls to Australia, Queens Of The Stone Age’s world tour in support of its international chart-topping seventh album Villains (Matador / Remote Control) has careened to a triumphant finish in Perth with its 129th show. The year-plus Villains run saw Queens Of The Stone Age play for more than 1.7 million true believers, including an all day affair at London’s Finsbury Park for a crowd of nearly 50,000, the Reading and Leeds festivals on the same day, the first Queens Of The Stone Age headline show at Madison Square Garden, a return to the Forum in Los Angeles, plus headlines at The O2 in London, Red Rocks, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, the Stadthalle in Vienna, the Sportpaleis in Antwerp and more. As the tour ground to a close, fans in Tasmania were treated to an intimate one-off acoustic set at MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart – a benefit that generated $10,000 matched by Queens Of The Stone Age’s Joshua Homme’s own Sweet Stuff Foundation for a total of $20,000 to support the Royal Hobart Hospital Paediatrics Ward. The band visited the hospital the following day, presenting the donation to the hospital and gifts to its patients. To commemorate the conclusion of their Villians tour, Queens Of The Stone Age have shared a sweet acoustic 'The Way You Used to Do' live from MONA which you can watch via the image below.

Debuted at #1 on ARIA Charts



'"Show off those teeth, it's time to dance." - Herald Sun HIT, Album Of The Week ★★★★



"Villains has a distinctly devilish character. It's upbeat, bursting with fat grooves, enormous power and a glam rock attitude." - The Age



"...plenty of muscular riffery, punishing rhythms and rib-rattling wails in these grooves..."

- Rolling Stone Australia



"Villains eschews the slow and shadowy songs, instead going straight for the hips." - The Music



"There has to be melody, and Homme has the voice to support melodies substantially sweeter and more supple than hard rock normally deals with." - The Guardian, ★★★★



"This, is the sound of living in the moment and it’s glorious." - NME, ★★★★ Queens Of The Stone Age - Villains
