While Queens Of The Stone Age are gearing up for a return this year, their plans no longer include next month’s annual ‘Welcome To Rockville‘ festival. The group have announced their exit from that festival for undisclosed reasons, with The Cult, Attila, Bones UK, Holy Wars and Silly Goose all having hoped on.
A newly issued statement on the matter reads as follows:
‘Rockvillians, we have an unfortunate update to share..
‘Due to unforeseen circumstances, QOTSA are no longer able to perform at this year’s Welcome to Rockville.
We are disappointed to miss playing for you at such a great festival & apologize for any inconvenience caused.’ – Queens of the Stone Age
While we and QOTSA are disappointed we won’t see them at Rockville this May, we are absolutely stoked to welcome The Cult, Attila, Bones UK, Holy Wars and Silly Goose to our 2023 lineup. Just ONE MORE MONTH until we’re reunited with our favorite #rockvillians 🤘
Psst.. an extremely limited amount of passes are still available, grab yours NOW!
