QUEENSRCHE: Tonight's Concert Postponed Due To Illness
August 5, 2011Tonight's QUEENSRCHE concert at the Hampton Beach Casino & Ballroom in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire has been postponed due to illness. The new show date will be Saturday, October 29. All tickets for tonight's show will be honored for the new date in October. Those that cannot make the new date can get refunds at the point of purchase. The band states, "We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience."
Fan-filmed video footage of QUEENSRCHE performing a new song, "Get Started", on July 16, 2011 at the O2 Apollo in Manchester, England as the support act for JUDAS PRIEST can be seen below.
"Get Started" comes off QUEENSRCHE's new album, "Dedicated To Chaos", which sold 8,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 70 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, the epic concept album "American Soldier", opened with 21,000 units back in April 2009 to enter the chart at No. 25. This was roughly half the first-week tally registered by QUEENSRCHE's "Operation: Mindcrime II" album, which shifted 44,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release back in April 2006 to debut at No. 14 on The Billboard 200 chart.
QUEENSRCHE's 2003 effort, "Tribe", sold 20,000 copies in the first week while 1999's "Q2K", opened with sales of 28,000.
QUEENSRCHE's top-selling album by far is 1990's "Empire", which was certified triple-platinum in October 1994 for sales in excess of three million copies in the United States. The original "Operation: Mindcrime" release (1988) attained platinum status in August 1991, while 1994's "Promised Land" reached the same plateau in December 1994.
"Dedicated To Chaos" was released on June 28 in North America via Loud & Proud Records, a Roadrunner Records imprint focusing on established artists. The band is currently touring in support of the new opus, which was recorded in the group's hometown and produced by Kelly Gray.
