A screening of Queens of the Stone Age's new concert film Alive in the Catacombs will take place at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin on June 5.

The showing is part of a limited series of global screening events taking place from June 3-6 in cinemas across 20 countries.

Alive in the Catacombs was filmed in July 2024 in the Catacombs of Paris. The performance marks the first time any artist has been granted official permission to stage a concert within the historic ossuary.

The film features a reimagined setlist spanning the band’s catalogue, recorded live without overdubs. It also includes a behind-the-scenes documentary detailing the "emotional and physical trials" faced in producing the performance.

Directed by cinematographer Thomas Rames, the film captures a stripped-down version of the band, including frontman Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore, alongside a three-piece string section. Unconventional instruments such as chains and chopsticks were used to match the acoustics of the location.

The Catacombs, a 320-kilometre network of underground tunnels, house the remains of several million people. The concert was powered using minimal equipment, including a car battery to operate an electric piano.

Other locations scheduled for cinema screenings include Paris, London, Toronto, Amsterdam, Madrid, Berlin, Los Angeles, Rome, Bangkok, Melbourne, Mexico City and Sao Paulo.

The American band is set to play a show at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin, on August 20.

Tickets for the Dublin screening are currently sold out. You can pre-order the film for rent or purchase here.
