‘The End is Nero’  tour is in support of their acclaimed eighth studio album,  ‘In Times New Roman…’  which debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts and which NME Australia described as  “their darkest, knottiest material to date.’  The End Is Nero  tour is an invitation from Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore to come celebrate the end of the world, which we hear is “in a month or two.” They would like to encourage the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between to attend, this is where you belong. Leave your judgment at the door, bring anything and everything else.

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting Queens Of The Stone Age tickets

Make sure you have a my ticketmaster account.

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance –  Ticketmaster.com.au .

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

Keep an eye on the clock

There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as you are progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window while you’re in the  Waiting Room  and when you’re being pushed through  the Smart Queue  and always resist the urge to refresh.

Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

Remember: there are a lot of fans

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.

Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

Queens of the Stone Age 'The End Is Nero' Tour

Formed by Joshua Homme against a backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age is what happens when a multidimensional musical entity outgrows the very genre it creates.

Too prolific, ambitious and just plain brilliant to be tethered to or limited by the confines of any genre. Ultimately morphing into the behemoth that has blessed the world with a range of bangers from “No One Knows” to “Little Sister,” “My God is the Sun” to “The Way You Used To Do” and everything in between.

Undeniably rock — yes, always, but with the blood, sweat and dark magical swagger only Homme and his cohorts can conjure.

Queens Of The Stone Age add intimate acoustic show to 2024 Australian tour

• X (formerly Twitter)

Queens Of The Stone Age will be back in Australia next month, with a string of massive rock shows locked in around the country. 

They've just added a special new date, with Hobart audiences getting a second show when the band are in town for MONA FOMA. 

As well as their big, sold out outdoor show, the band will play an intimate show inside MONA, which has always been a happy place for the group. 

"I want to play acoustically," Josh Homme said in a statement today.

"I love to play Mona. It's a chance to do something nice and this is a situation where it's very simple to do something nice."

That nice thing is raising funds for the  Royal Hobart Hospital Children’s Services and 24 Carrot Gardens, who will receive all the money from this special show. 

It happens at MONA on Thursday 15 February and tickets are on sale now. Scroll down to see all the band's Aussie dates. 

Care to spend the summer with rock gods Queens Of The Stone Age and some ass-kicking special guests?

Fresh from the release of their new album, In Times New Roman… , QOTSA have locked in plans to return to Australia for 'The End Is Nero' tour, extending the apocalyptic ' Rome is burning! ' messaging of their eighth full-length record.

Josh Homme and his formidable bandmates – Troy Van Leeuwen , Dean Fertita , Michael Shuman , beast drummer Jon Theodore – hit our shores from February, playing venues and outdoor shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, MONA FOMA in Hobart and two shows in Brisbane!

Queens Of The Stone Age also head up an expanded bill of acts for Lookout concerts in Torquay, Victoria and on the Gold Coast. More on that right after this handy reminder of why QOTSA are one of the most widely revered rock acts on the planet.

Some excellent special guests have been lined up to support QOTSA at each show.

There's few better warm-up acts than psych rock cosmonauts Pond , fronted by the magnetic, bug-eyed Nick Allbrook and pulling from an acclaimed catalogue now nine albums deep .

You've also got emerging Melbourne/Naarm five-piece Gut Health . The Unearthed faves fuse angular post-punk and new wave sounds with a menacing charm (you need to hear 'Uh Oh' ), which makes for a riotous, infectious live show.

In addition to Pond and Gut Health, two of QOTSA's dates will feature alt-rock national treasures Spiderbait , who are sounding as match-fit as they've ever been, Josh Homme's ol' pub-punk mates The Chats , as well as young grunge-pop idol Lola Scott .

The last time Queens Of The Stone Age were in Australia was 2018, for "the kind of rock show that would make a teenager want to start a band".

This was after a set at  Splendour In The Grass , where triple j proclaimed they "remain one of the most visceral, vicious, sexiest things to ever happen to rock music, and still among the top tier doing it."

Fans have had their fingers crossed that a new album meant another visit Down Under, and the feeling's been mutual for QOTSA's frontman.

"Look, Australia is my home away from home. It has been for 16, 17, 18 years… I can't wait to get there," Homme told Double J earlier this year in a candid interview  covering what's been some of the lowest points of his career. 

In recent years, Homme was diagnosed with cancer, saw close friends die (such as  former QOTSA bandmate Mark Lanegan , Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins , and food and travel icon Anthony Bourdain ), and began a messy public custody battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle.

"I learned an awful lot in the last four or five years," Homme said. "I don't think I've ever learned so much in such a short period of time."

He took those lessons and funnelled them into the emotional exorcisms of  In Times New Roman… , cultivating Homme's ongoing realtionship with cathartic music-making. 

"It's totally worth it because it works. I don't have a therapist: this is my religion, this is my therapy, this is my way out."

Queens of the Stone Age Announce 2024 Australian Tour

By Music Feeds

Queens of the Stone Age will bring their ‘The End Is Nero’ tour to Australia in February 2024. Josh Homme and co. will play headline shows in Perth, Adelaide, Hobart (for Mona Foma ), Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in the course of a two-week span. They’ll be supported along the way by Pond and Gut Health .

UPDATE 30/10/2023: Queens of the Stone Age Add Second Sydney Show to 2024 Australian Tour

Queens of the Stone Age will also headline two Lookout festival events while in the country. They’ll be joined at Torquay Common and Gold Coast’s Broadwater Parklands by The Chats , Spiderbait , Pond, Gut Health and Lola Scott . Full tour details can be found below.

Queens of the Stone Age – ‘Negative Space’

The current Queens of the Stone Age lineup consists of vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter Josh Homme, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, bass player Michael Shuman, keys player Dean Fertita and drummer Jon Theodore. The band released its eighth studio LP, In Times New Roman… , in June 2023.

Queens last toured Australia in 2018 in support of the previous year’s  Villains . Since that time, Homme has been involved in a  bitter and very public custody battle  with his ex-wife and Distillers frontperson  Brody Dalle . He grieved the deaths of close friends  Taylor Hawkins , former  bandmate Mark Lanegan and  actor Rio Hackford . And, in 2022, Homme was diagnosed with cancer but had surgery to remove it.

“Cancer is just the cherry on top of an interesting time period, you know?” Homme told Revolver  magazine earlier this year. “I’m extremely thankful that I’ll get through this, and I’ll look back at this as something that’s fucked up — but will have made me better. I’m cool with that. There’s a lot of stuff I want to do. And there’s a lot of people I want to do that with.”

Queens of the stone age announce australian tour.

Queens Of The Stone Age are bringing their The End Is Nero tour to Australia and New Zealand.

In a thunderous declaration, Queens of the Stone Age have officially announced their The End Is Nero Summer 2024 Australian and New Zealand tour, marking their triumphant return to Australasia since their last visit in 2018. The highly anticipated revelation follows an electrifying teaser via social media last week.

This monumental tour is set to kick off at the iconic Red Hill Auditorium in Perth on the 10th of February. From there, the Queens will journey to Adelaide, Hobart, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Brisbane, before crossing the Tasman to grace the stages of Auckland and Wellington. The grand finale of their rock odyssey will be in Christchurch on the 3rd of March.

Locally, you’ll be able to catch them for the first time at the Torquay Common on Sunday 18 February, where they are headlining the inaugural Lookout Festival. Lookout is a live music concert event that celebrates the best of alternative rock with music that has stood the test of time, along with some fresh new sounds on the scene. It will feature some of the most iconic names plus rising stars making noise in the industry. The festival will also feature Spiderbait, The Chats, Gut Health, Pond and Lola Scott.

The End Is Nero tour serves as a raucous celebration of their acclaimed eighth studio album, In Times New Roman…, which made a thunderous debut at #2 on the ARIA charts.

Emerging from the sun-soaked backdrop of 1990s Palm Desert, California, Queens of the Stone Age epitomize what happens when a multidimensional musical entity transcends the very genre it birthed. They’ve proved too prolific, too ambitious, and just too brilliant to be confined within any musical boundaries. The band, led by the enigmatic Joshua Homme, has morphed into the colossal force responsible for chart-toppers like No One Knows, Little Sister, My God is the Sun, The Way You Used To Do, and everything in between. They are undeniably rock, but with the visceral energy and dark magic that only Homme and his ensemble can summon.

Regularly anointed as one of the paramount live acts, Queens of the Stone Age is an ensemble comprised of Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore. What started as “generator parties” in the desert has evolved into sold-out arenas and headlining the main stage at your favourite summer festival. The End Is Nero tour promises to be a spectacle that should not be missed.

The general on-sale for the tour begins at 1 pm (local time) on Monday, 30th October. For a comprehensive rundown of tour dates and ticket information, head  here .

Heavy rock band, Queens Of The Stone Age are from Palm Desert, California, and currently consist of Josh Homme as lead vocalist, guitarist, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar and backing vocals, Dean Fertita on keyboards and backing vocals, Michael Shuman on bass and backing vocals and Jon Theordore on drums.

After the breakup of his previous band, Josh Homme formed Gamma Ray in 1996, and later changed the name to Queens of The Stone Age; said to be named so because “rock should be heavy enough for the boys and sweet enough for the girls.” The band released their self-titled album in 1998, which was mostly recorded by Homme himself, with the appearance Alfredo Hernandez on drums and Chris Goss on backing vocals. Shortly after it’s release, Homme’s former Kyuss band mate, bassist Nick Oliveri joined the band, shortly followed by guitarist Dave Catching, as well as drummer Joey Castillo.

With the help of various other artists, “Rated R” was released in 2000, garnering a lot more attention than their debut album. Frequent touring helped the band gain more support, but they were still able to get time in the studio and released “Songs For The Deaf.” The record was extremely well received and saw to the addition of guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen (previously a part of A Perfect Circle). The band was on a constant tour, and due to issues, Oliveri ended up leaving the band in 2004.

Due to a leak, their 2005 album “Lullabies to Paralyze” debuted on the Billboard charts at the Number 5 slot, making it their most successful album to date. Later that same year, the band released a live album from their performances in London, England. With a slate of guest appearances, the band’s album “Era Vulgaris” was completed and released in 2007, followed by a tour where bassist Michael Shuman and keyboardist Dean Fertita took over touring duties.

During the span of 2009-2010, the band took a hiatus for members to work on their solo projects. While other members joined other bands, Homme suffered an unfortunate near death experience during a knee surgery, forcing him into bed rest for three months. This caused a plunge into depression where Homme almost considered quitting music altogether; however, once he recovered, Queens of the Stone Age re-released their self-titled album and included a tour and a few large festivals, one of which was the last show with drummer Joey Castillo.

With the loss of Castillo and a new album in the works in 2012, Homme announced that Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl was filling in on the recording sessions for the drum parts, and by summer of 2013 “…Like Clockwork” was released, first in the UK, followed by a US release with the debut reaching Number 1. Homme announced that at the end of their “…Like Clockwork” tour, the band will return to the studio at the end of 2014 to start recording their next album.

Live reviews

Queens of the Stone Age performed at Merriweather Post Pavilion last night (Thursday, July 17th) and were beyond amazing. Josh Homme is a born performer and a born musician. He is charismatic and engaging and his riffs are tight and clean. Best of all, the music (thankfully) does not suffer from the disease that a lot of guitar-heavy music does. It crashes down on you, absolutely, like a wall of glorious sound but never once loses technical precision. You never lose sight of the core melodies. A lot of hard rock distorts when played live: it all smushes together, every instrument fighting all the others like some chaotic race for volume, and it just sounds like noise. QotSA is different. so, so different. The crescendos make the music more powerful. Moments that isolate building drum parts or that isolate haunting guitar riffs make the crashing sound of all of them together feel like the culmination of a lifetime of work. You waited for that drop and so it feels really, really satisfying. QotSA know how to put a song together and then they just know how to play it live.

Their newest album is the most melodically complex of all their albums, straying slightly from the grittier sound of all their previous albums there is a sadder note to it. ...Like Clockwork is composed beautifully, with each song playing off another. Some albums feel like an eclectic mix of ideas spewed out musically whereas ...Like Clockwork plays like a concept album, each song threading into the next with all of them sounding like siblings (and no, not ever like twins) of the others. The lights they used just added a pulse to the whole venue, opening with this bright neon green weaving through thick smoke, and then using flashing bright purples on the down beats of their rougher songs really brought the whole show to a new level of awesome.

The whole band is high energy except Josh, but that's okay. While the bassist and second guitarist jump around and really get into it, Josh has this sleek, drugged-out savoire-faire and you just want to watch the whole of them forever. I was actually in the front row so I got to see what was happening on the wings of the stage while opener Brody Dalle played a set, so I saw Josh Homme with his kids in his arms and around his leg watching her perform and it was so adorable. not that that matters to anyone else, but to me it was an endearing sight.

Listen to them because you'll love them and once you love them, go see them, because then you'll love them even more.

Last year I managed to see QOTSA a whopping five times in very different settings. The smallest show I saw was in Rough Trade (East London - maybe 150 people) and the biggest I saw was at Wembley Arene (13,000 people). I also travelled from London to Berlin to see the play in an outside castle named Zitadelle Spandau. Why did I bother going to all these shows? Quite simply there is no better live band then Queens of the Stone Age. Every show is subtly different, yet every show is always spectacular, QOTSA don't do "off" nights. It's rare to find a band that's so well refined on record but yet is able to take that and expand on it and actually be better live. Songs are often jammed live and broken down to their bare elements before coming back to the song with a truckload of added enthusiasm, always absolutely 100% note perfect and spot on. QOTSA aren't afraid to play songs they haven't played in years, however you will always hear the staple songs from Songs For The Deaf and Rated R as well, they aren't ashamed or bored of their back catalogue like so many bands.

Every member of QOTSA is exceptionally talented at their instruments, such as Dean Fertita, who's other band The Dead Weather happens to include Jack White, or Troy Van Leeuwen who used to play in A Perfect Circle, or newest addition Jon Theodore who used to play drums in The Mars Volta. QOTSA are practically a supergroup in their own right. Part of the reason why QOTSA always sound so good live is down to their soundman, Hutch. Josh hasn't played a show without him since he was 18 years old, no matter what band he's been in (Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures etc). Hutch knows QOTSA's sound probably better than the band themselves and has even appeared in promo photos with them. In an interview with Hutch I recall him saying soundcheck is all well and good but he know that QOTSA always come bolting out of the gates a hundred times harder for the actual performance, so he has to adapt that into his day to day sound desk work. He is effectively a band member behind the sound desk, not something every band has. Queens of the Stone Age know their audience and Josh is never afraid to interact and really put on a show without acting and pretence. There is something very genuine and pure about QOTSA which is hard to find in music these days and if you have the opportunity you should definitely explore it because if you miss it, you will well and truly miss it.

Last night I saw Queens of the Stone Age at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY. His was the second show I have seen at this venue and the second time I have seen QOTSA. The venue is nothing more than a large open general admission gymnasium with a balcony, around the perimeter. What makes this place a great place for shows is that it is never really crowded and all sight lines are good. From center stage in the balcony, the sound quality is a little muddy due to reverberations off the back wall, but from any where on the main floor, the sound is great. Enough about the venue... The show started with a darkened stage and several "clocks" counting the seconds down from 60. Once at ten, and the band was seen taking the stage, the crowds fever rose as we counted down to 0, at which point the stage came alive with a fury as QOTSA launched into "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire". From this point the band launched into a steady, pulsing, throbbing fusillade of sonic intensity that left the senses reeling. Song after song, old and new, popular to obscure, we, the privileged audience were certainly given a show. High energy, non stop rock for a continuous hour plus, before taking a shot break followed by a 2 song encore. All in all 1.5 hrs. of an outstanding and very entertaining show. Will definitely go see QOTSA again, hopefully not another 14 years later next time. Also will revisit The Main Street Armory again as it is a great venue. Only down side is that the beer lines move very slowly...small price to pay.

I saw Queens of the Stone Age last night at Bud Gardens in London, Ontario. It was my second time seeing them and it was unreal. They are and always will be my favourite band of all time. I may have a biased opinion because I love them so much but a friend of a friend found an extra ticket last night and decided to come along last minute. He was totally impressed with the show and the energy of the crowd. He even mentioned how horribly mundane it is to go back to 'reality' after such an amazing time. The set list was the best mix of songs that I've ever experienced, and I have been to many shows. Josh and the boys gave it all they had for us you could tell they were very into it, even though Homme mentioned he hadnt been feeling well. I was so close I witnessed how the energy of the crowd made him play even harder and play past whatever sickness he was feeling. They even played "You think I ain't worth a dollar but I feel like a millionaire", a song that I never thought I'd hear live, which is the opening song on one of the greatest albums of all time, Songs For The Deaf. All around amazing show. "Little Sister" and "Go With The Flow" rocked my friggen socks off. There is nothing better than a night with your favourite band!

Queens of the Stone Age @FestivalPier was one of the best concerts I have been to! The opening Royal Blood produced great psychedelic tones on a bass and the drumming was absolutely fantastic! I definitely reccomend checking out their debut self-titled album! Queens of the Stone were also great, playing classics like Go With The Flow and Smooth Sailing, while also playing newer tunes like Domesticated Animals and The Evil Has Landed. I was impressed with the live presence and energy of the band, especially from Troy Van Leeuwen and Josh Homme. The average age of the crowd was older than most of the shows I've been too, but many were still very nice. An unexpected feature was the moshing that took place towards the end. A circle pit was formed during the last few songs and there were a few crowd surfers, including myself. Overall, the only complaints I have would be the exclusion of Feet Don't Fail Me and the bad handling of crowdsurfers from the audience. But other than the entire show was brilliant. I definitely want to see them again!

Queens of the Stoneage were Amazing,I have seen them Twice in the UK but this Gig was so much Better,Josh Homme & the Band were on Top Form Playing All their Big Singles Aswell as Tracks which they would not Normally Play like Songs From The Deaf & Millionaire which were Amazing,We came to the Gig Because Royal Blood were Supporting & we are Massive Fans of Theirs After Seeing Them Live in Cardiff on Their How Did We Get So Dark Tour Last November in Cardiff,I would Love to See Queens Of The Stoneage Play in the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff as on this Album Tour they only played London & Manchester which was a Real Disappointment as we always try to see them,we Seen them on the Era Vulgaris Tour in the 02 in Bristol when Josh Homme was not well & the Like Clockwork Tour in Birmingham 21/11/13 which they were good,I would love them to come to the Capital of Wales to play as they do have Loads of Fans here too,Fingers Crossed.

I am unbelievably disappointed having spent £120.00 that I only saw some of The Hives. I left the festival in 30 degree heat, unable to get a drink unless I was prepared to queue for up to, or over 2 hours. This was unfeasible given the temperatures and the fact that I would miss the bands.

I was then told I was not allowed to re-enter the festival if I left. THIS WAS OUTRAGEOUS! We were not allowed to take refreshments inside the festival. We COULD NOT get a drink inside the festival and then were penalized for getting refreshment outside the site. Why was there no re-entry? This policy should have been immediately changed when you realised you were unable to provide adequate refreshment.

I would expect a refund as this was a terrible experience and one I will never repeat. I missed the bands I wanted to se because of your dreadful lack of planning.

I expect a reply please at your earliest convenience.

Royal Blood opened in style and kicked some Royal Butt! Queens took the stage and delivered an energetic, dynamic performance with an amazing set list. The crowd was into it and singing along with riffs the whole way.

I’m not sure if it was the venue or the sound guys, but the volume was at a point where you couldn’t make out the leads and solos, and sometimes even the vocals. It’s like turning your cheap Radio Shack stereo up to 11 when it can only handle 7 or 8. Sure it’s loud but you can no longer make out what’s happening. I’ve heard loud rock shows at that venue before and never had that complaint before (Metallica, Judas Priest...to name a few)

Queens and Royal Blood both delivered the goods though with a very high octane performance. Can’t wait to see them both again!

It was a pretty poorly organised affair if I am completely honest.

The queues for the bars were totally ridiculous and some of my friends left early as they were just so fed up with waiting for a drink.

That said, the bands were staggeringly good. I've been following QOTSA since 200 and have lost count of the number of times I've seen them but can honestly say that this was amongst the best I have seen them. Josh was on good form and the crowd were loving it. (Iggy had warmed them up nicely).

Before that we saw Brody Dalle, whose new stuff is excellent and benefited from the drummer and guitarist from Savages helping her out.

Deap Vally were excellent, as were Skinny Girls Diet but somehow, Miles Kane didn't fit into the line up.

Nice shows, shame about the organisation!

Once again Queens Of The Stoneage were everything I hoped and more!!! They ended my summer last year with a bang and this year started my summer off with the same, a glorious bang!! I feel so privileged to have been able to see them 2 years in a row after having to wait years (which by the way felt like forever!!) I read recently an interview with Josh Homme and was so excited to read that he might do more work with his other band, Them Crooked Vultures; another band I am totally into! Josh always keeps his talent flowing with everything he does and I am in total awe of his work. He keeps me intrigued with his non stop, effortless musical talents and I will forever be a hardcore fan of everything he does.

Thanks for a awesome start to my summer boys!

King Charles and Queen Camilla's Australian royal tour details revealed

By Karishma Sarkari | 4 days ago

New details of King Charles and Queen Camilla 's upcoming royal tour have been revealed.

The couple will touch down for their first official visit to Australia since the coronation on October 18, visiting Sydney and Canberra before departing on the 23rd.

Their Majesties' royal visit will be ahead of their trip to Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which runs from October 21-25.

"Australians look forward to welcoming The King and Queen back to Australia in October, and highlighting the best of the Australian spirit," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

The King made 15 official visits to Australia during his time as Prince of Wales - in addition to spending a semester at school in Geelong back in 1966 - but this will mark his first visit as sovereign.

The four-day tour also marks the first visit to Australia by a reigning monarch since 2011.

Queen Camilla made three official visits as Duchess of Cornwall but this will mark her first as Queen Consort.

The couple were last in Australia in April 2018 for the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. During that last trip, they toured Queensland and the Northern Territory.

This visit, which is being undertaken as the King continues his cancer treatment, will be kept to Sydney and Canberra but will still feature a full diary of engagements from Sunday October 20 until Tuesday October 22.

The couple's itinerary "will be subject to doctors' advice", and the King's itinerary may be modified should health grounds require it, Buckingham Palace advised when first announcing the tour in July.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will arrive in Australia on the evening of October 18 and will receive an official welcome.

While in Sydney, the couple will conduct a fleet review of the Royal Australian Navy in Sydney Harbour and attend a community barbecue in Western Sydney, which will showcase produce from across NSW.

The pair will also hold solo engagements, with the King learning about the ground-breaking melanoma research being led by Australians of the Year Professor Georgina Long AO and Professor Richard Scolyer AO.

His Majesty will also meet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives and groups to learn about their work in supporting local community and strengthening culture.

Queen Camilla will continue her literacy focus and visit a library, meeting with children participating in a Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition workshop.

Their Majesties will break up their time in Sydney with a trip to Canberra on Monday, October 21, where they'll be welcomed to Parliament House by the prime minister.

The day will also include a visit to the Australian War Memorial and time at the Australian National Botanic Gardens for the couple.

They'll also attend a reception for political and community leaders, and Australians who have excelled in the fields of health, arts, culture and sport.

In solo engagements, the monarch will meet with CSIRO scientists to discuss their work on bushfire impacts in Australia, while Queen Camilla will take part in a forum on domestic violence - another passionate cause she also champions in the UK.

"His Majesty first visited Australia in 1966, and has a strong personal affection for our nation. We are delighted that His Majesty is recovering well and has made visiting Australia once again a priority," Albanese said.

"The royal visit is an opportunity to showcase the best of Australia – our rich culture, our sense of community, and contributions to science, research and global progress."

The couple were expected to also visit New Zealand while in the region but this ultimately needed to be skipped on doctor's orders.

"The King's doctors have advised that such an extended programme should be avoided at this time, to prioritise His Majesty's continued recovery," a palace spokesperson said earlier this year of the decision to miss New Zealand.

"In close consultation with the Australian and New Zealand prime ministers, and with due regard for the pressures of time and logistics, it has therefore been agreed to limit the visit to Samoa and Australia only," the spokesperson said.

"Their Majesties send their warmest thanks and good wishes to all parties for their continued support and understanding."
