Since then, Queensrÿche has produced 12 albums, selling over 30 million albums worldwide. Queensrÿche’s international recognition led them to perform to sold out shows worldwide. The band released their first full-length album, “The Warning” in 1984, and their third ground breaking album “Rage for Order” in 1986. The band turned out their monumental album “Operation: Mindcrime” in 1988, which then went on to be named one of the Top 10 best selling conceptual albums of all time. By 1991, the band had continued to churn out records, releasing “Empire,” which landed them multiple Grammy Award nominations and winning the MTV “viewers choice” award for the #1 chart topping hit “Silent Lucidity.” Queensrÿche has continued to release albums and tour the world to sold-out shows for the following 10 years.
“Queensrÿche is high energy, just the way Buffalo Chip concert goers like it,” said Rod Woodruff, President of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “We couldn’t be happier knowing that Queensrÿche will create a memorable first night of good times for everyone at the festival.”
