Kyuss Lives! Tour

The Kyuss Lives! Tour was a 2011 concert tour by Kyuss Lives!, a spin-off band featuring three former members of American rock band Kyuss. It is the first tour since the "original" Kyuss broke up in 1995, and marks the first time in 19 years that John Garcia, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri have performed together. The tour also marks the band's first outing with guitarist Bruno Fevery, who has taken Josh Homme's place. Scott Reeder, who was in Kyuss from 1992 to 1995, temporarily filled in for Oliveri on some European and all Canadian shows.

Background

After Kyuss broke up in 1995, there had been frequent and persistent speculation among fans regarding the possibility of a reunion.

In 2010, a European "John Garcia plays Kyuss" tour was announced, starting with a gig at Roadburn Festival. His backing-band comprised Belgian and Dutch musicians from Agua de Annique, Kong, Celestial Season and Arsenal. The setlists almost exclusively contained Kyuss songs. Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri joined John Garcia onstage for several concert appearances on the tour, thus representing 3/4 of the original band's lineup. In July of the same year, it was announced that Garcia, Oliveri and Bjork would reunite for a reunion tour under the moniker "Kyuss Lives!", with Bruno Fevery added as the band's guitarist. The worldwide tour passed through different countries of Europe, Oceania and South America. After the tour, the band planned to record a new studio album for a 2012 release. In reference to the new band name, in the Dec/Jan'11 issue of Rock-A-Rolla Garcia stated that "there is never going to be a Kyuss without Josh Homme". He went on to state in the same interview that "Hopefully in the future, him and I can get together and do some writing".

Despite Homme refusing to join Kyuss, the tour was a big success, selling out most shows.

On March 23, 2011, the band announced their first South American tour dates, and in June 6, North American tour dates were announced.

On June 30, 2011 at 013, Tilburg, Netherlands, the band gave a two-part special show, which featured 22 songs.

On July 2, 2011, all members of Queens of the Stone Age, including Josh Homme, watched the show at Eurockéennes Festival from the side of the stage – this was not too long before Homme filed a lawsuit against the band.[1]

On July 13, 2011, TMZ.com reported that Nick Oliveri was arrested following a standoff with members of the Los Angeles country S.W.A.T. team due to a supposed domestic violence. The band later said on their Facebook page that "...TMZ blew this way out of proportion, nobody got hurt and any of that other bullshit.". The band continued their tour the next day with former Kyuss bass player Scott Reeder filling in for Nick Oliveri at four European shows in August.
