Penn’s Peak announces Geoff Tate’s Operation: Mindcrime — The Final Chapter will take the stage on Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.

Multi-platinum selling, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate is best known for his 30-plus years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band Queensryche.

Since its inception with Tate at the helm, Queensryche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and has performed in upward of 50 countries.

Tate is regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in the genre with hundreds of modern, popular artists citing him and his former band as a major influence.

Combining social consciousness and expertly crafted lyrics with high-energy, melodically complex music, Queensryche with Tate at the forefront became internationally recognized as the thinking man’s rock band. The band’s first three albums — their self-titled EP (1983), “The Warning” (1984) and “Rage for Order” (1986) — all hit gold status, selling over 500,000 units each.

With the release of the landmark concept album “Operation: Mindcrime” (1988) — which won critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s “Tommy” and Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” — Queensryche went on to bring its progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over. Following the album’s platinum success, Queensryche released “Empire,” which quickly entered the Top 10 on the Billboard charts, eventually generating sales of more than 3 million copies.

The album featured the hugely popular hit, “Silent Lucidity,” which would be the band’s first Top 10 single (No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart).

Tate and the band would ultimately perform the Grammy nominated song live at the Grammy Awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra. In all, Queensryche has been nominated for a Grammy four times and has had its music featured in three feature films.

In 2006, the band released Operation: “Mindcrime II,” a scorching sequel to the original 1988 tale of “Rock, Revenge and Redemption.”

Shortly after the release of that hugely successful set, Queensryche would release another gem in 2007 titled,” Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche,” that featured 17 career-spanning tracks including seven Top 10 hits with a two-CD deluxe collector’s edition that added 15 rare and previously unreleased recordings. Later that year, band members found themselves on the fall leg of the highly acclaimed Heaven and Hell Tour with the late Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice along with other special guest Alice Cooper.

The year would culminate with the release of “Take Cover,” an adventurous 11-song collection of covers ranging from Black Sabbath to Broadway.

In early 2009, Queensryche released “American Soldier” (via Atco/Rhino Records), a concept album inspired by the stories of military veterans that examines the consequences of war from the soldier’s perspective, yet another effort that will solidify Tate and the band in rock history.

At the end of 2012, Tate released his first solo album in over a decade, titled “Kings & Thieves,” that was quickly followed by the news of a 25th Anniversary Mindcrime Tour that would encompass the United States in 2013.

In 2014, it was announced that Tate and his bandmates would be embarking on their farewell tour as Queensryche, with a subsequent announcement stating that Queensryche with original lead singer Tate would be changing its name to Operation: Mindcrime in September for future tours and recordings.

Beginning in March 2025, Tate and the current lineup of Operation: Mindcrime hit the road to celebrate the final chapter of “Operation: Mindcrime,” performing the 1988 landmark concept album from beginning to end in its entirety. It’s a show that Tate loves to perform and fans love to see, only proving that good music never goes out of style. As always, Tate looks forward to the musical journey that lies ahead and can’t wait to perform his next big rock show.
