The band’s performance at the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, Australia raised money for the Royal Hobart Hospital’s Paediatrics Ward
Queens of the Stone Age performed a one-off acoustic gig in support of a children’s hospital in Hobart, Australia last week – check out footage and the setlist below.
The California band played the gig as part of the Australia and New Zealand leg of their world tour, which came to a close in Perth yesterday (September 12).
The benefit show on September 3 was held in support of the Royal Hobart Hospital’s Paediatrics Ward, with the gig raising over $20,000 for the ward. Taking place at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania, the band played an 11-song set – including opener ‘The Way You Used To Do’ – which featured an array of cover versions and original QOTSA material.

Speaking prior to the gig about the special location of the show, frontman Josh Homme said: “I sit with [wife] Brody [Dalle]’s Mum and enjoy the wild, utterly Australian beauty. I think MONA is a perfect example of Tassie [Tasmanian] individuality, so playing there is an honour.”
QOTSA made a visit the following day to the Paediatrics Ward at the Royal Hobart Hospital, where they presented staff with a cheque for the donations from the benefit show. They also dropped off presents for patients on the ward.
