Ex-QUEENSRŸCHE Singer GEOFF TATE Announces 2026 U.S. Leg Of ‘Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter’ Tour

Ex-QUEENSRŸCHE frontman Geoff Tate (yes, that guy with the operatic pipes) just dropped news about his 2026 U.S. tour: “Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter.” Translation: your last chance to hear the entire 1988 prog-metal soap opera live before Tate retires the nun costumes and political angst to maybe take up knitting. The 66-year-old’s social media teased: “We’re bringing lasers, strings, and enough drama to make a telenovela blush!”

Cue the obligatory hype post quote: “Geoff Tate’s ‘Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter Tour’ is coming BACK in 2026! We’re returning to select cities from 2025 AND adding brand new stops across the United States! This will be your last chance ever to witness Geoff and the band perform the entire ‘Operation: Mindcrime’ album live — and in 2026, we’re taking it to the next level with a full string ensemble and an epic laser light show!”
