Exceptional singer Geoff Tate brings an iconic piece of rock history to Pratteln with "Operation: Mindcrime—The Final Chapter." The former Queensrÿche frontman will perform the acclaimed prog-metal concept album "Operation: Mindcrime" in its entirety one last time with his current band at Z7.
Tate is undoubtedly one of the most flamboyant figures in the international metal scene. The multi-platinum-selling and Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter is best known for his more than 30 years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band Queensrÿche. Under his leadership, Queensrÿche sold over 20 million albums worldwide and toured in more than 50 countries. Tate is considered one of the most talented singers in the entire genre, and hundreds of modern popular artists cite him and his former band as a major influence on their careers. With a unique combination of socially conscious and masterfully crafted lyrics and high-energy, melodically complex compositions, Queensrÿche, under Tate's direction, achieved worldwide acclaim as a rock band for discerning listeners. The 1988 album "Operation: Mindcrime" holds a special place in the rich back catalog of Tate and Queensrÿche. This sophisticated metal opera is considered by critics to be one of the most important concept albums in music history, alongside rock masterpieces like The Who's "Tommy" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall." It's an opus that is unparalleled, not just in the metal genre. On his current tour, which kicked off in the United States in January, Tate presents the entire album from beginning to end, bringing the epic tale of revolution, betrayal, and redemption to life one last time. Fans experience the full power and emotional impact of this groundbreaking album in a captivating performance that perfectly captures the spirit of the original recordings and showcases Tate at his absolute best.
