It was followed by a string of much larger gigs in Asia earlier this month. But it was all a warmup for a 2026 North American summer stadium tour they\u2019ve just announced.

A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we\u2019ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.
