Announced: Queens of the Stone Age – Alive in the Catacombs Screening events

Queens of the Stone Age have confirmed a limited run of international theatrical screenings for the forthcoming concert film Alive in the Catacombs, including screenings in Melbourne and Hobart on 5th June. The theatrical events will give fans the first chance to experience the audiovisual document of the band’s long-rumoured performance in the Catacombs of Paris.

The Melbourne screening will take place at Cinema Nova. Tickets are $5 with all proceeds going to Bush Music Fund, a charity who provide long term support to First Nations musicians from remote Australia providing the networks, skills and opportunities they need to build a career in the music industry. Continuing QOTSA’s long love affair with Tasmania, Alive in the Catacombs will be screened as part of Dark Mofo Films, presented in partnership with the State Cinema Hobart. All Melbourne and Hobart cinema screening attendees will receive an exclusive Alive In The Catacombs film poster and lobby card. Further event details and ticket info linked below.

The screenings will also include a preview of an intimate behind the scenes documentary film, revealing the emotional and physical trials Queens of the Stone Age overcame to create Alive in the Catacombs. Filmed and recorded in July 2024, Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs captures QOTSA as you’ve never seen or heard them before. This utterly unique once in a lifetime experience features a carefully selected setlist spanning the QOTSA catalogue, each song chosen and epically reimagined for the Catacombs. The result is an unprecedented incarnation of QOTSA at their most intimate, yet surrounded by literally millions of human remains—“the biggest audience we’ve ever played for,” says Joshua Homme.

The film has already been tipped as “awe-inspiring” by DIY Magazine, “completely unique” by CLASH, “incredibly special” by Kerrang! and “revelatory” by Uncut Magazine.
