Former Queensrÿche singer Geoff Tate has announced the “Operation: Mindcrime, The Final Chapter” 2025 US tour. The run will see Tate performing the seminal 1988 Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime in its entirety “for the last time.”
A spring leg kicks off March 18th in Tucson, Arizona, and runs through April 25th. Tate and his band will then return to the road for a fall leg that kicks off September 25th in Greenville, South Carolina, and runs through October 11th in Tarrytown, New York.
A Live Nation ticket pre-sale for select dates begins Wednesday (October 2nd) at 10 a.m. local time using the code TEMPO. General ticket sales start Friday (October 4th) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
Tate fronted Queensrÿche for over 30 years, performing on the band’s classic albums in the 1980s and beyond.
He acrimoniously split from the group in 2012, though it appears he is now on better terms with his former bandmates, who continue to remain active with Queensrÿche.
“Well, I think that we had 30 good years, which is phenomenal,” Tate told YouTuber Cassius Morris in a recent interview [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “Most bands make a couple of records. … We had 30 years of making music, and we gave it a really good run. We had a lot of success.”
Tate went on to say that he doesn’t “regularly” stay in touch with his ex-bandmates, but “situations arise where we have to sort of deal with each other, and it’s not unpleasant now,” adding that “enough time has gone by [and] the bridges have mended, I guess.” As of 2019, he was still “open” to reuniting with Queensrÿche.
