The Cult will take Queens’ place on the bill, while bands including Bones UK have also joined the lineup.
Welcome to Rockville takes place May 18-21 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Headliners include Tool, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, and the reformed Pantera.
While they won’t be at Welcome to Rockville, you can catch Queens of the Stone Age at a number of other festivals this year, including Boston Calling, Sonic Temple, Louder than Life and Aftershock. The group is also playing a headlining show at New York City’s Forest Hills Stadium in August.
A fan said on Reddit, “Oh god please no. I bought tickets for pinkpop to see them and this is not a good sign.”
Another fan responded, “The festival replied to a comment asking if their other dates would be cancelled and they said they were told the other dates were not in jeopardy.”
