Queens of the Stone Age made their live return with a powerful performance at Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio – their first show since early 2020.
Josh Homme and co ran through a set of fan favourites on Friday (May 26) and also dropped in their new track Emotion Sickness from upcoming eighth album In Times New Roman…, due for release via Matador next month.
