On February 18, 2025, Queensrÿche will conquer the Komplex 457 in Zurich with their unmistakable progressive metal sound. An evening that will duly celebrate the band's four-decade career. Tickets are now available in advance.
Queensrÿche, founded in Seattle in 1982, have constantly developed, experimented and refined their sound over the course of their career. Their breakthrough came in 1988 with their third album "Operation: Mindcrime". The follow-up album "Empire", released in 1990, was their most commercially successful and went triple platinum. The songs "Silent Lucidity" and "Jet City Woman" are still among the band's best-known to this day.
Despite the departure of former singer Geoff Tate in 2012, the band made a successful new start with singer Todd La Torre. More recent albums such as "The Verdict" show that the band has remained true to its progressive roots. With over 20 million records sold worldwide, they have firmly established themselves in the history of heavy metal. Today, the band stands for a unique blend of melodic hard rock and progressive heavy metal - a real headbang alarm!
