Grammy-nominated heavy metal singer-songwriter Geoff Tate is bringing the 'Operation: Mindcrime, The Final Chapter' tour to the United States. As one of the founding members of the progressive metal band Queensrche, Tate spent 30 years with the band, writing songs and performing vocals on 12 of their albums. Tate promises a mix of Queensrche and solo hits, so get to a show and witness metal history in the making!

Gwar is a heavy metal band formed in Richmond, VA, in 1984. The band is best known for its elaborate science fiction/horror film inspired costumes, obscene lyrics and graphic stage performances, which feature humorous enactments of politically and morally taboo themes. Their grotesque costumes make them easy to identify, and their science-fiction mythology theme only adds to the band portrayal of them being warriors.

Hailing from Nantes, France, DJ Madeon AKA Hugo Leclercq is fast becoming an internationally recognised force for dance-floor-filling bangers. Thanks to his artful blend of ebullient nu-disco (a 21st century fascination with 70s and 80s disco), chic french house beats and feel good, danceable pop hooks, he quickly rose through the ranks - first releasing remixes and mashups, then producing for the likes of Lady Gaga, Muse and Elli Goulding before touring and releasing under his own steam.

Not the Bristol, UK-based band, but the master Depeche Mode tribute band are headed out on tour across the States once more. Known for their pitch-perfect recreations of Mode's lively and technically challenging stadium shows, the experience will take audiences through the different eras of the band's music and evolution. From the note-perfect renditions of DM'S biggest hits, to the outlandish costumes and stage settings, down to the hip-swiveling sexiness of the original, Strangelove have won plaudits the world over for their unerring attention to detail!
