In August 2025, during their European tour backing the album In Times New Roman..., California rockers Queens of the Stone Age—founded by Josh Homme and renowned for their desert rock infused with psychedelia—headlined day two of Way Out West, the annual Gothenburg festival drawing a record crowd to Slottsskogen. The 90-minute set, rife with signature riffs and improvisations, opened with the rhythmic punch of "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire," building intensity through "No One Knows" and "Burn the Witch," heartfelt "Villains of Circumstance" and "Emotion Sickness," plus "Little Sister" and "Make It Wit Chu," culminating in the epic "Go With the Flow" and "A Song for the Dead" amid cheers. Homme, recovering from recent health issues, infused the performance with personal charm, including fan interactions, which Clash Magazine reviewers hailed as a "wall of noise" and poise, affirming QOTSA's veteran status influencing generations from Foo Fighters to Arctic Monkeys.
