Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
On 28 October 2026, 013 opens at 19:00. Support James Keegan is listed for 20:00–20:40. Geoff Tate and band are scheduled 21:00–22:45 (times from the official 013 page; subject to change). The core of the show is the full *Operation: Mindcrime* album; other tour dates have sometimes added selected Queensrÿche classics afterward — the final Tilburg set will confirm the exact running order.
The album follows Nikki, a drug addict turned assassin under the control of the shadowy Dr. X. The live show tracks that story song by song and ranks among the most demanding prog-metal nights of the 2026–2027 season for both performer and audience.
