Nov. 7 — Queensryche will celebrate two of its earliest records next spring with a new tour.
The band announced Tuesday, it will launch the tour, dubbed “The Origins Tour” March 22 in Houston, TX. The tour, which will find the band performing its debut self-titled EP and its follow-up, The Warning (1984) in whole, is scheduled to run through May 12 in Ft. Meyers, FL. It includes stops in cities nationwide, such as Charlotte, NC; Cincinnati, OH and Seattle, WA.
Front man Todd LaTorre commented briefly about the tour in a prepared statement.
“We are thrilled to bring to you “The Origins Tour!,”‘ La Torre said. “This will be the first time in Queensrÿche’s history that the EP and ‘The Warning’ will be performed live in their entirety. And to make this an even more stellar tour, we are so excited that our great friends and legendary metallers Armored Saint will be joining us as direct support. We are all proud to bring you this touring package and we can’t wait to see you on the road.”
Armored Saint’s run on the tour launches on its third date, March 27 in Anaheim, CA and front man John Bush was upbeat as he talked in a statement, about joining Queensryche for the forthcoming tour.
“Hello SAINT fans, We are happy to announce that we will be hitting the road again in March 2024 to team up with our good friends and one amazing band, the mighty Queensrÿche!,” Bush said. “Playing shows with Eddie [Jackson], Michael [Wilton], Todd [La Torre], Casey [Grillo], and Mike [Stone] is always inspiring and a lot of fun. The tour hits lots of cities we haven’t played in a while including dates in Canada! Come on out and watch two classic metal bands bring the house down every night! If it’s anything like the 2016 tour we did together, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride! Until then, we are writing brand new music which is sounding amazing! Thanks as always to our loyal fan base. We’ll see ya soon!”
