On Saturday 16th May 2026, QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre) will be transformed into a celebration of one of the greatest bands the world has ever known, as Queen Forever brings their Greatest Hits Tour – 20th Anniversary to Brisbane. After two decades of electrifying audiences across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, Queen Forever return to Queensland with their biggest, boldest and most spectacular show yet — a full-scale tribute experience that captures the heart, soul, and thunder of Queen at their peak.
From the moment the lights drop at QPAC, the journey begins. Gareth Hill’s uncanny portrayal of Freddie Mercury continues to astonish fans nationwide — the voice, the flamboyance, the wit, the irresistible charisma. Sharing the stage, Scott Bastian recreates Brian May’s soaring guitar wizardry, Brad Hodgkinson delivers Roger Taylor’s powerhouse drumming with precision and fire, Darryn McLaughlin anchors the band with John Deacon’s most iconic bass lines, and Danny Oakhill adds the sweeping layers of keyboards that shaped Queen’s signature sound. Together, they don’t just perform the songs — they embody Queen.
This 20th Anniversary tour is more than a concert; it’s a fully immersive theatrical production. QPAC audiences can expect stunning visuals, dazzling lighting, and the kind of crowd interaction that transforms a night at the theatre into a full arena-style rock event. The anthems that generations grew up with — Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Somebody to Love, Radio Ga Ga, Killer Queen, and more — are delivered with breathtaking authenticity that continues to win over long-time fans and newcomers alike.
For the die-hard fans, Queen Forever’s setlist also features a selection of rotating deep cuts, ensuring every performance is slightly different and offering Brisbane audiences the rare chance to hear songs seldom performed live.
2026 also commemorates 50 years since Queen first toured Australia, and Queen Forever are honouring that legacy not by recreating a single moment, but by unleashing the full weight of Queen’s extraordinary catalogue. It’s a celebration of music, theatre, nostalgia, and stadium-sized performance — delivered with the passion and precision that has made Queen Forever widely recognised as the most entertaining Queen tribute in the world.
Whether you’re reliving the music of your youth or discovering Queen’s genius for the first time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime night at QPAC you’ll never forget.
