The upcoming tour arrives as both groups promote recent or forthcoming studio projects. Interpol released their eighth studio album, This Mirror Weighs A Ton
, last month. NME awarded the record a four-and-a-half-star review, describing it as the New York City band’s most human and personal record to date, one that accepts constant change
. Meanwhile, Queens Of The Stone Age are preparing to release their new LP, Perfecth
, on October 30, 2026, through Matador Records, having already shared the advance singles Insignificant Other
and Easy Street

Album Intentions And Personal Reflection
Discussing the motivations behind Interpol’s latest record with NME this summer, frontman Paul Banks explained that he approached the songwriting with heightened personal gravity after welcoming two children following the release of their previous album, The Other Side of Make-Believe
.
I was in a headspace either about how we felt about the rest of the record or post-parenthood, but I took it really seriously and wanted to make sure I came away really proud of the work. Every song is different, but I guess there’s a spirit of striving for elation and a striving for enlightenment and clarity. There’s a lot of taking stock and honest assessments, hence the title. It’s about striving and reflection.
Paul Banks, speaking to NME
For Josh Homme, the period leading up to the new album cycle follows a public health battle. Homme recently spoke about navigating a cancer diagnosis, noting that the experience shifted his perspective. Homme shared that the ordeal served as an awakening to aspects of life he had previously neglected, leaving him feeling closer to what he truly values.
