“Simply uncanny,” said the Daily Mail. “Kings of the musical impersonators,” hailed BBC-1. “A real life Bohemian Rhapsody…as near to the real thing as you’re likely to get,” raved The People.

With more than 25 years performing, Killer Queen is as thrilling, daring and electrifying as Freddie Mercury himself. They’re the only Queen tribute band who have sold out the same venues that Queen played. They have toured all over Europe and in the U.S. at Austin City Limits and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. No detail is overlooked.

Killer Queen formed in June 1993. Their first shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there 21 years earlier. By 1995, Killer Queen’s U.K. popularity had grown to such an extent they secured a residency in London’s Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage – the first tribute to have a show in the West End. Their reputation continued to grow both in the U.K. and abroad. As Killer Queen toured into their second decade, the audiences grew. In 2005 they played Ahoy Stadium, where the reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later.

The next year Killer Queen joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. That show led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. In 2016 they set their sights on America including Red Rocks Arena in Colorado, now a regular stop on Killer Queen’s tour sheet. 2019 sees the band’s fourth and biggest 10-week U.S. tour as well headlining across Europe, Scandinavia and Russia.

Lead singer Patrick Myers said, “It’s been an amazing journey. That first show back in June 1993 changed my life. We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most but it’s a very addictive thing performing these songs! The concerts grew and grew and we’ve ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It’s been quite a surreal ride.”
