Queens of the Stone Age Cancel Berlin 'Catacombs' Show Over Venue's Technical Limits

The band says it learned too late that Theater des Westens could not support the show's complex setup.

Overview

  • Queens of the Stone Age called off their October 23 Berlin date after announcing on Instagram that the venue could not realize the production for their 'The Catacombs' tour.
  • The group criticized the organizer for notifying them too late to relocate the concert, describing the situation as disrespectful and inexcusable.
  • Eventim buyers will receive automatic refunds, while those who purchased elsewhere must seek reimbursement from their original point of sale.
