Geoff Tate and his Operation: Mindcrime band are about to pack their bags and hit the road for the early part of 2016. The band will embark on a Winter U.S. trek on Feb. 3 in Fresno, Calif.

Tate will be joined in Operation: Mindcrime by several of the musicians that helped him complete the group's debut disc, The Key. Guitarists Kelly Gray and Scott Moughton, drummers Simon Wright and Scott Mercado and keyboardist Randy Gane will rock alongside Tate during the run.

Tate says, "I plan to play songs from Empire, Operation: Mindcrime 1 and 2, Rage for Order and my new album, The Key, along with favorites from all the other albums I recorded under the name Queensryche." He added, "My band's name may have changed but the songs remain the same."

At present, the tour leg is set to wrap March 18 at The Neptune in Tate's hometown of Seattle. Check out the full itinerary below.
