“The Amish Outlaws look different, they play everything—and they absolutely deliver an incredible show. That’s why they’re coming to the Queen.”
WILMINGTON — The Amish Outlaws, a high-octane cover band blending humor, eclectic hits, and Amish-themed stage personas, will headline The Queen’s Main Hall on Friday, Nov. 7. It’s a 21-and-over show; doors open at 7 p.m., with showtime at 8 p.m.
Formed in 2002 by a mix of ex-Amish and “honorary Amish” musicians, the group leans into its Lancaster-county roots with tongue-in-cheek stage names and Rumspringa lore—while fully embracing modern music. Their setlists jump from rock and pop to country, hip-hop, reggae, R&B, and metal, with mashups, sing-along choruses, and plenty of crowd banter. Expect jukebox favorites such as “Sweet Caroline,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Friends in Low Places,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Shout,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and playful spins on 90s hip-hop anthems—all delivered with theatrical flair and the band’s trademark Amish-garb dance breaks.
“We’re always searching for acts that deliver a memorable night, not just a concert. The Amish Outlaws hit that sweet spot: fun, clever, and unbelievably tight. In our Main Hall, with that balcony and big sound, their set becomes a full-room celebration.” — Alex Evans, Program Director at The Queen. They look different, they play everything—and they absolutely deliver. That’s why they’re here.”
“They packed the house and put on an incredible show.” — A reviewer from Morgantown, Pa., praising the group’s musicianship, vocals and knack for getting the crowd dancing.
“We always dance the night away… they’re better every time.” — A fan from Crisfield, Md., who noted the band’s consistency and how members chat with the audience between sets.
“They rock, they roll, play funk with soul!” — A longtime fan from Solomons Island who first saw the band 20 years ago and still loves their energy and versatility.
“A joyful rebellion… a cultural experience.” — A reviewer for Concerts in USA, describing the act as a fusion of Amish tradition and modern music that channels the spirit of Rumspringa with humor and heart.
