QUEEN FOREVER
Performing for the first time in Ōtautahi Christchurch this New Years Eve.
If you are a fan of the iconic band, Queen, then you’ll definitely want to check out Queen Forever – the ultimate tribute band. Queen Forever is a group of talented musicians who have mastered the art of replicating Queen’s music and live performances.
Queen Forever was formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 2006, with the goal of paying tribute to the legendary rock band, Queen. The band is made up of five highly skilled musicians – lead vocalist Gareth Hill, guitarist Scott Bastian, drummer Brad Hodge, keyboardist and backing vocalist Danny Oakhill and from Otautahi Christchurch, bassist Darryn McLaughlin.
Since their formation, the band has become one of the most sought-after Queen tribute bands in the world. Queen Forever has performed in front of thousands of fans across Australia and around the world.
The band regularly tours nationally and internationally, performing all of Queen’s greatest hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and Don’t Stop Me Now. They also perform a range of lesser-known songs from Queen’s extensive discography.
If you’re a fan of Queen, you won’t want to miss Queen Forever – the ultimate tribute band. With their exceptional musicianship, attention to detail, and incredible stage presence, Queen Forever will transport you back to the heyday of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

CASTAWAY
Charged with an electrifying fusion of pop and rock, Ōtautahi band Castaway bring a captivating high-energy show to any stage they come across. The band met in their first year at university, as fate brought the 5 boys from all across the country to the same hall of residence.
Years on, the band lives and breathes music from their flat in Ōtautahi. When they aren’t chasing each other up for not unloading the dishwasher or sharing a delicious meal at the dinner table, they are hard at work on their sophomore EP, Nondual.
In 2024, Castaway celebrated an opening slot for Drax Project, two releases in the NZ Hot 20, and making airwaves on ZM Locals Only, MoreFM, The Hits, Hauraki, RNZ and The Edge.
The boys are now setting their sights on an Aotearoa tour and the 2024/25 summer festival circuit, as they prepare to launch themselves into the NZ music scene.
Influenced by the anthemic prowess of The Killers, the emotive melodies of Coldplay, the indie-rock vibes of Inhaler, and the genre-bending creativity of The 1975, Castaway write fun and emotive songs that get stuck in the head and the heart.
The boys’ communal living situation lends itself to a collaborative creative process, and they pride themselves on being a cohesive team.
Exploring themes of young love, the challenges of growing up, and the universal desire to make sense of the world, Castaway aims to write lyrics that resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level.
Each track is a journey through the highs and lows of life, wrapped in melodies that linger long after the music stops.
