Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled 4 song EP “Queensrÿche”. They very quickly gained international recognition and performed to sold out audiences around the world. With the follow up first full length album “The Warning”, and the ground breaking release of “Rage For Order”, Queensrÿche continued to prove their worldwide dominance as one of the most respected and creative bands of the 80’s.

The band turned out yet another monumental album “Operation: Mindcrime”, which would go on to become one of the Top-10 best selling concepts records of all time, and set the stage for continued sold out performances around the world. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful “Empire”, the band earned multiple Grammy Award nominations and won the MTV “viewers choice” award for the #1 chart topping hit “Silent Lucidity”. During the next ten years, the band continued to release albums and tour the world to sold out audiences. Queensrÿche has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have continued to break new ground and push their creative process.

The band’s name is uttered in the same breath as many of the groups they looked to as influences and others who arose as peers. Queensrÿche built a dedicated legion of fans traveling the globe on tour with fellow rock giants like Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. In recent years, they’ve consistently delivered high-octane live shows combining the hungry fire of a new band with the tempered experience of master showmen. Even with eleven gold and platinum plaques and several Top 10 hard rock anthems woven into the very fiber of the genre, Queensrÿche won’t relent. In fact, they’re in the throes of a jaw-dropping creative resurgence.
Queensryche does a great show with a perfect balance of old and new material. I have been to 5 of their shows in the last 3 - 4 years because I like their new material. Todd LaTorre even says We are still making records and we are selling music so we are going play these new songs we hope you like them. I think this a terrific approach to music as opposed playing the same old greatest hits. Great show please continue to make music!

The concert was a great experience it was my first time seeing this band and it was my fiancé’s first concert.

Always a pleasure watching Queensryche. They sounded great. Wouldn't expect any less. Just a great night of singing along.

We had an amazing time at the Queensryche show! We even got to meet a couple members of the band after the event. Our only issue was that the show wasn’t long enough! The band sounded great and I couldn’t ask for anything more than just some more music!

Great show! Queensryche were as expected very very good. Todd is an awesome singer and sings the Geoff Tate’s songs with ease.
Live rock at its finest! I had the best seat in the house, sound mix was amazing, lighting was spectacular. Queensryche never disappoints. Great show!
