Condensing all the might, sprawling beauty, legacy and excitement of Queens of The Stone Age into half an hour isn’t easy but somehow the band just about manage it. Tightening the cork, shaking the bottle and letting it fly, today’s set may be short but it isn’t scaled down. There’s urgency to the way they enjoy the waves of ‘If I Had A Tail’ while the jaw-dropping opening one-two of ‘No One Knows’ and ‘Feel Good Hit Of The Summer’ is carefree but eternal. This is one of those nights that will last forever.
New songs are dropped with total self-awareness, but are met with celebration and jubilance. ‘Villains’ already has the makings of the classic, different enough to cause a ripple but still with that glinting wickedness that the band thrive on.
This is a taste of what the band can do. A reminder that they’re a force to be reckoned with. A gang you should never underestimate.
"I love everyone. I love everything," declares Josh Homme. "Don't wait for anything." The time is now.
