Qween Tickets

When the fans of a band put together a tribute production, you should expect microscopic detail, but when they’re also seasoned performers, you can expect fireworks.

The band formed in 2018, with the members having played together in numerous other guises over the years. Since their debut, Qween has wowed audiences with a theatrical rock show that brings the audience right back in time to the front row of a classic Queen gig. Qween’s two-hour show features a veritable anthology of Queen’s greatest hits, from Radio Ga Ga to Somebody to Love, performed fully live.

Since their inception, they have grown in popularity quickly and have performed shows usually reserved for acts that have their own tributes, selling out venues across Ireland.

In 2022, the band featured over two days at the Forever Young Festival, with performances that included guest appearances from Tony Hadley, formerly of Spandau Ballet, and Mark Shaw of Then Jerico. Such was the response, the band was booked for the festival's main stage in 2023—the first time a tribute band had been granted the privilege.

“On paper, there’s nothing particularly ‘cool’ about a tribute band, and that’s the hardest thing for us to communicate to audiences—that this is the essence of what Queen is about rather than some musicians playing dress-up. When people see us, they get it then,” said guitarist Thomas Brunkard.
