Geoff Tate, the original voice behind Queensrÿche’s most influential era, is taking fans through the full Operation: Mindcrime experience as part of what’s being billed as the final chapter.

That means the story, the songs, and the kind of theatrical, high-level musicianship that helped define progressive metal in the late ’80s, performed live... the way it was meant to be heard. Since this tour is called "the final chapter", we can assume this will be your last chance to see this show.
