The lights go down, the crowd roars, and from the first note you know — this is Queen, as it should be.In 2026, Queen Forever celebrates 20 years with their Greatest Hits Tour – 20th Anniversary, the ultimate tribute to rock’s most iconic band.
From the very first song, audiences will be transported into the world of Freddie Mercury and Queen. Gareth Hill’s performance as Freddie is nothing short of astonishing — the voice, the moves, the charisma, the flamboyance. He commands the stage with the same magnetic energy that made Freddie a legend. Beside him, Scott Bastian channels Brian May with soaring guitar solos, Brad Hodgkinson thunders through Roger Taylor’s rhythms, Darryn McLaughlin locks down the iconic bass lines of John Deacon, and Danny Oakhill brings the lush layers of keyboards and harmonies to life. Together, they don’t just play the songs — they become Queen.
And this is not just another tribute show. It’s a full-scale theatrical experience. Every anthem is backed by immersive visuals, dazzling lights, and crowd interaction that makes the audience part of the spectacle. When the opening notes of Bohemian Rhapsody ring out, the entire room becomes a choir. When We Will Rock You stomps into life, the walls shake. And when We Are the Champions closes the night, you’ll feel the kind of spine-tingling magic that only comes from truly great live performance.
This tour is built on the hits that defined generations — Somebody to Love, Radio Ga Ga, Don’t Stop Me Now, Killer Queen, Another One Bites the Dust — all performed with breathtaking authenticity. But there’s more: every show will also feature a handful of rotating deep cuts, keeping the setlist fresh and giving long-time fans a chance to hear songs rarely performed live.
2026 also marks 50 years since Queen first toured Australia, but rather than recreating a smaller slice of that history, Queen Forever are presenting the full weight of Queen’s catalogue. This is the ultimate celebration of Queen’s music, performed at the scale and intensity it deserves.
For 20 years, Queen Forever has thrilled audiences across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. They have built a reputation as hands down the most entertaining Queen tribute in the world, winning over fans with their larger-than-life stagecraft and breathtaking authenticity.
This is more than a concert — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of music, theatre, and the enduring legacy of Queen. Don’t miss your chance to experience Queen Forever’s 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits Tour — book your tickets now!
