\n Killer Queen Tribute Launches 2026 U.S. Tour with Syracuse Opener
\n <\/p>\n
Killer Queen<\/a>, the award-winning UK-based tribute to the legendary rock band Queen<\/a>, has announced an ambitious twelve-week U.S. tour for 2026. The run begins Thursday, April 16 in Syracuse, New York at the historic Landmark Theatre<\/a>, with showtime set for 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n Tickets range from $25 to $112. For additional information, call (315) 475-7979 or visit landmarktheatre.org<\/a>. The tour will continue across the United States through October 23, when the band concludes the run in Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n Fronted by the remarkable Patrick Myers in the role of Freddie Mercury, Killer Queen has built a global reputation for delivering one of the most authentic and electrifying tributes to Queen\u2019s iconic live performances.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing journey,\u201d says Myers. \u201cThat first show we did changed my life. We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most, but it\u2019s a very addictive thing performing these songs. The concerts grew and grew, and we\u2019ve ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It\u2019s been quite a surreal ride.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the band\u2019s favorite American venues is the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre<\/a> in Colorado. \u201cBecoming regular performers at Red Rocks is another highlight,\u201d Myers adds. \u201cThe Beatles, U2, Springsteen, and Dylan all played on that stage. It\u2019s really got its own kind of magic going on there.\u201d<\/p>\n Killer Queen returns to Red Rocks on July 30, celebrating ten years since their first performance at the famed outdoor amphitheatre.<\/p>\n Killer Queen \u2013 Some Background<\/p>\n Killer Queen first took the stage in 1993 at London University\u2014fittingly the same venue where Queen performed their earliest shows in 1972. The group quickly built a devoted following in the United Kingdom and soon secured a residency at London\u2019s Strand Theatre, earning nationwide BBC coverage and becoming the first tribute band to stage a show in London\u2019s West End.<\/p>\n The band\u2019s growing reputation led to an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, where Suggs of the band Madness presented Killer Queen with the honor of \u201cWorldwide Best Tribute Band.\u201d The group also scored a number-one hit after being asked to recreate Queen\u2019s signature harmonies for Fatboy Slim\u2019s track \u201cThe Real Life.\u201d<\/p>\n Killer Queen soon became a major draw across Europe, performing in prominent arenas such as Ahoy and Forest National Arena\u2014venues closely associated with Queen\u2019s historic performances. They later joined forces with Bj\u00f6rn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a major show at Waverley Stadium in Edinburgh, an appearance that ultimately led to the band being chosen to represent Queen at a re-staged Live Aid tribute concert organized by Sir Bob Geldof in Malta, raising funds for homeless youth.<\/p>\n The band\u2019s international momentum carried them to the United States, where they quickly found enthusiastic audiences\u2014including sold-out performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The venue has since become a regular stop on their tour schedule.<\/p>\n Recent years have seen Killer Queen continue to pack arenas across Europe, including performances in Norway as well as major cities throughout the United Kingdom. Their touring schedule has also included arena dates in Lithuania and high-profile appearances at venues such as Austin City Limits. The 2026 tour marks the tenth anniversary of the group\u2019s first performances in the United States.<\/p>\n 2026 U.S. Tour Dates<\/p>\n April 16 \/ Syracuse, NY \/ Landmark Theatre For more information about the band and upcoming tour dates, visit killerqueenonline.com<\/a> and follow Killer Queen on social media.<\/p>\n
