(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Queensrÿche, with guest Killcode, will perform Thursday, August 17, 2017 at 8:00pm at the Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) in Englewood, NJ. Against the formidable obstacles of an ever-changing cultural landscape, the rise and fall of various musical trends, and the near collapse of the record industry itself, Queensrÿche secured a triumphant legacy as one of hard rock’s most respected and celebrated acts, selling 30 million albums around the world across a 30-plus-year career. Tickets range from $29 to $79.
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 in 1984, and the ground breaking 1986 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.
In 1988 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 in 1991, 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.
Their current line-up includes Todd La Torre on vocals, Michael Wilton on guitar, Parker Lundgren on guitar, Eddie Jackson on bass and Scott Rockenfield on drums.
