[DID NOT ATTEND: October 7, 2025] Queens of the Stone Age: Catacombs Tour / Paris Jackson
Queens of the Stone Age is a band who has two albums that I love to death and a couple albums that I think are pretty good. I’ve wanted to see them live for a while, but they never play venues I want to go to. Until now. They played the Met, a fun venue with a good pit.
But this tour was the Catacombs tour: “one-night-only evenings” at historic theaters featuring all-new musical arrangements of their catalog.
Which is exactly what I did not want. Since I’ve never seen them live, the last thing I wanted to see was them playing gentle versions of their rocking songs. So I said no thanks.
I’d never heard of Paris Jackson. Turns out that she is a model and singer. I heard an acoustic song that was quite pretty, but she also rocks out in a catchy sort of way. I also just learned that she is the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe. Woah. She hasn’t put out new music since 2020, so that’s an unusual choice for an opening act.
