Queens of the Stone Age & Foo Fighters 2007 Tour Dates/presale

August 23, 2007

This was really just going to be a QOTSA post, but then I saw this picture and realized it would be a good place to put the latest Foo Fighers (who recently covered Arcade Fire) news too..

First the latest controversy….

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE rocker JOSH HOMME has struck the latest blow in his battle with SHARON OSBOURNE – dubbing her a musical nobody. The rift began when Homme accused Sharon and her husband Ozzy Osbourne of treating bands like “s**t” at their annual Ozzfest festival. Sharon hit back saying she hoped Homme “gets syphilis and dies”. Now Homme says, “I don’t know what she is or what she’s done. Has she ever made any music? No. I don’t know why her name is Sharon. She ain’t sharin’ anything.” [Contact Music]

Tickets go on pre-sale (Password: SICK) in the morning for a bunch of Queens of the Stone Age shows, including one at the WaMu Theater At Madison Square Garden in NYC on October 13th.

Foo Fighters have a new album coming out, and they’re promising that you can be first to get concert tickets if you pre-order on iTunes. They’re also promising a NYC show.
