A Tribute to Queen featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury Killer Queen's first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there decades earlier.
The tribute’s UK popularity grew to such an extent they soon secured a residency in London's Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage - the first tribute to have a show in the West End.
The band's reputation continued to grow both in the UK and abroad, leading to an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, hosted by Suggs from Madness who presented them with the award for Worldwide Best Tribute Band.
By now, they were in demand in European arenas playing Ahoy, where the now reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later. They were delighted to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set-piece videos for the likes of “Hammer to Fall” and “Don't Stop Me Now.”
Killer Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof.
In 2016, Killer Queen set their sights on America, including the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado. The Beatles, Springsteen, and U2 have all played Red Rocks, and KQ is delighted that the venue has become a regular fixture on their tour sheet.
In 2020, the band was pulling huge arena audiences in Cardiff Motorpoint, Liverpool, and Nottingham, and 2023 sees them back on the road, ready to delight audiences the world over.
Tickets are $54.50, $47.50, $42.50 or $35, depending on seat location. A $5 processing fee and NC Sales tax will be added to each ticket. The Pit will be open for dancing.
