Recognized as one of the world's premier Queen tribute acts, Killer Queen has spent more than three decades recreating the music, energy, and spectacle that made Queen one of rock's most influential bands. Their rise began in London before expanding into arena performances throughout Europe and North America, including regular appearances at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. "No detail is overlooked. Killer Queen are kings of the musical impersonators, the highest of tributes." Duncan Kennedy, BBC 1 Fronted by Patrick Myers, whose portrayal of Freddie Mercury has earned praise from critics and Queen fans alike, Killer Queen has performed in venues originally played by Queen during the band's peak years. The production has received recognition including the "Worldwide Best Tribute Band" award and praise from Brian May's official website. The Houston performance will feature many of Queen's most recognizable songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," "Don't Stop Me Now," "Somebody To Love," and "Another One Bites The Dust," delivered through a concert production centered on live musicianship, theatrical staging, and audience interaction. "Concerts as near to the real thing as you're likely to get. A real-life Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Lives! A Pop Legend Is back" The People As part of its continuing international success, Killer Queen's 2026 schedule includes a multi-month American tour and a return engagement at Red Rocks, marking ten years since the group first performed at the venue.

About the Show/Tour: Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury. Lead singer Patrick Myers said: "It's been an amazing journey. That first show 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. Becoming regular performers Red Rocks Arena in America is another highlight. The Beatles, U2, Springsteen, Dylan all played on that stage. It's really got its own kind of magic going on there." MAGIC YEARS Killer Queen's first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen, who had played their first shows there decades earlier. Killer Queen's UK popularity grew to such an extent that they secured a residency at London's Strand Theatre, attracting nationwide BBC coverage. They were the first tribute to have a show in the West End. The band's reputation continued to grow in the UK and abroad, leading to an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, hosted by Suggs from Madness, who presented them with the award for "Worldwide Best Tribute Band." They also scored a number one hit when they were asked to recreate Queen's harmonies for "The Real Life" with Fatboy Slim. By then they were in demand in European arenas, playing Ahoy and Forest National Arena, where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos such as "Hammer to Fall" and "Don't Stop Me Now." Killer Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. This performance led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute Live Aid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof in Malta. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for young homeless people. Killer Queen set their sights on America, including the Red Rocks Arena in Colorado, one of the country's most prestigious venues. The Beatles, Springsteen, and U2 have all played there, and the band is delighted it has become a regular sell-out fixture on their tour. 2025 saw the band play packed arenas across Europe: Stavanger in Norway, and Cardiff, Nottingham, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Leeds in the UK. 2026 includes an arena show in Newcastle, a three-month tour of America, and a return to Red Rocks, 10 years after their first show there.
