The current QOTSA setlist for the Catacombs Tour comprises a total of 17 songs, which are organized across three acts followed by an encore. Notably, the unreleased track “Easy Street” is a highlight in the middle of the third act, a welcome addition for fans keen on new material.

Their return indicates QOTSA’s commitment to honoring their extensive musical history while keeping the setlist fresh and engaging.
