WATCH: Queens Of The Stone Age Whole Set From Reading Festival 2014

Queens of the Stone Age and Paramore co-headlined this year’s Reading Festival over the bank holiday weekend. Queens of the Stoneage have played the festival a handful of times in the past, taking the main stage in 2001, 2005, 2008, and 2010, before their first headliner spot this year.

Green lasers darted across the main stage as Josh Homme and his misfit comrades opened the set with, “You Think I Ain’t Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire.” Homme greeted the crowd, acknowledging their past daytime sets and introducing the next track saying, “It pretty much should be smooth fucking sailing from here on out,” as the opening riff to “Smooth Sailing” began. They tore through the set as gold lights lit up the steam rising from stage in a huge cloud as they played fan favorites from their back catalogue including, “No One Knows,” “Little Sister,” and “Sick, Sick, Sick.”

Introducing “The Vampyre Of Time and Memory,” Homme said, “You know it’s such a modern fucking world man… everybody, take out your phone and take a picture of each other. Every last fucking one of you take a picture, let me see the light show from you. We’ll turn the lights out. You be the light show, how’s that. Now that’s the modern world for you. Welcome to the modern world.” Homme was on the piano for “Vampyre,” and the next song, “If I Had a Tail” off their latest 2013 LP …Like Clockwork.

They finished out the set with “A Song for the Dead.” Homme said thank you and farewell, “We hope you get shit faced and end up fucking sleeping in a ditch” before closing out the vibrant set with an extended drum solo from Jon Theodore.
