Break the silence, because the current iteration of Queensrÿche is bringing its current run of shows to St. Petersburg this winter.

Next year marks 40 years since the progressive-metal giant convened to record its sophomore album Rage For Order, which was thematically ahead of its time, with warnings about AI and how humanity would react to it.

Only a few songs from the record are being dusted off on this retrospective “Volume and Vengeance” tour (featuring German metal pioneers Wolf Hoffmann and Accept opening), so regardless of how correct you feel to have shared former creative forces Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo’s skeptics back in 1986, maybe delve deeper into the boys’ discography before its annual gig in town.

Tickets to see Queensryche play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Wednesday, Dec. 3 are still available and cost $57.96.

Queensryche w/Accept

Time Wed., Dec. 3, 7 p.m. 2025

Location Jannus Live, 200 1st Ave. N, St. Petersburg
