Queens Of The Stone Age’s concert film Alive In The Catacombs and the accompanying doc Alive In Paris And Before are streaming for free now – watch below.
The band released Alive In The Catacombs earlier this year, a film that captured their unique performance in the underground tombs of Paris in July 2024. It received a limited cinematic release before being made available to purchase on the band’s website, but now it is available for all to watch for free on YouTube.
So too is Alive In Paris And Before, a companion film directed by Andreas Neumann that takes fans behind the scenes of the concert and revealing “the emotional and physical trials Queens Of The Stone Age overcame to create Alive In The Catacombs”.
Fans who wish to own physical copies of both films can buy them on the band’s official site here, while the audio is available on digital streaming platforms now.
Watch Alive In The Catacombs and Alive In Paris And Before here:
NME awarded Alive In The Catacombs four stars on its release in June, writing: “Alive In The Catacombs may be powerful enough alone, but it hits differently when followed by Neumann’s companion doc. It’s explained that the grisly performance has been 20 years in the planning, though only came to fruition when Homme was at death’s door himself. Alive In Paris And Before begins with last summer’s European tour – including the story of Homme’s “medical emergency” and cancer battle (he’s since had the all-clear).”
QOTSA followed up the Catacombs show with a tour of the UK, Europe and North America at which they recreated the intimate aesthetic of the caves, and were joined by a string section.
The final of the UK dates was at London’s Royal Albert Hall in October, where they aired new material and were joined by Matt Berry for a stripped-back and emotional set. Check out footage and photos from the show here.
With QOTSA set to return to the road next year with stadium support dates with System Of A Down in the UK and Europe and Foo Fighters in North America, fans are expecting the follow-up to ‘In Times New Roman’ to arrive in 2026.
