Queens of the Stone Age have revealed that a limited number of theatre screenings will be held for their special concert film, ‘Alive in the Catacombs’. This new screening offers fans the opportunity to witness the band's highly anticipated and exclusive performance at the Paris Catacombs, which are home to the remains of over six million individuals spread across 200 miles beneath the city. The international theatre screenings are scheduled for June 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. The performance will be displayed in theatres across 20 countries and will include a preview of the band's upcoming intimate documentary film that chronicles the creation of ‘Alive in the Catacombs’. The performance, filmed last July, grants fans a rare opportunity to see the band in a distinctive historical location. The film features a unique one-time setlist that encompasses the band's iconic repertoire, with each song specially adapted for the eerie setting. “[It’s] the biggest audience we’ve ever played for,” jokingly remarks the band’s founder and lead vocalist, Joshua Homme. “We’re so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down…” Homme explains. “It would be absurd to try to rock there. All those decisions were made by that space. That space dictates everything; it’s in control. You follow its lead when you’re in there.” He adds, “If you’re ever going to be haunted, being surrounded by several million dead people is the place. I’ve never felt so welcomed in my life.” The band, consisting of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore, is supplemented by a three-piece string section in the film, with the performance described as one of their most intimate. Hélène Furminieux of Les Catacombes de Paris speaks about the film's creation, stating, “The Catacombs of Paris are a fertile ground for the imagination. It is essential for us that artists embrace this universe and provide a sensitive interpretation of it. Going underground and facing reflections on death can be an intensely profound experience.” You can find the screening dates for ‘Alive in the Catacombs’ below.
