Former Queensrÿche singer Geoff Tate has announced tours in the U.S and U.K. to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his prior band’s landmark conceptual album, ‘Operation: Mindcrime‘.

Tate and his current band, Operation: Mindcrime, will be performing the platinum-selling album (released May 3rd, 1988) from beginning to end in its entirety, along with a set full of greatest hits from his time in Queensrÿche.

The Mindcrime set will cover all fifteen songs from the album including such fan favorites as “Revolution Calling“, “Operation: Mindcrime“, “I Don’t Believe In Love” and the closing track, “Eyes Of A Stranger“. It’s a show that Tate loves to perform and fans love to see. As you might remember, Geoff performed the album in its entirety on tour in 2013 to celebrate its 25th anniversary.


As for Geoff’s current musical endeavor, his band Operation: Mindcrime has released three well-received albums in three years as part of a trilogy: ‘The Key’ (September 2015), ‘Resurrection’ (September 2016), and ‘The New Reality’ (December 2017).
