If you are looking for something to do in Brighton on the 4th of April 2026, the Royal Pavilion is hosting a performance titled 'Candlelight: A Tribute to Queen'. The event takes place in the Pavilion’s music room, which will be lit by candles for the duration of the 60-minute show. The Sussex String Quartet will be performing instrumental versions of Queen’s music, providing a different take on tracks that many of us have heard countless times. The performance is scheduled for 19:00, with doors opening at 19:45, so it is worth noting the timing if you are planning your evening around it.

The setlist includes a selection of the band's most recognisable songs, such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'We Will Rock You', 'I Want to Break Free', 'Don't Stop Me Now', 'Somebody to Love', 'Radio Ga Ga', 'Killer Queen', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', 'Who Wants to Live Forever', 'Love of My Life', 'We Are the Champions', and 'Another One Bites the Dust'. While the performance is instrumental, the atmosphere allows for audience participation, and some people choose to sing or dance along as the quartet plays. It is a specific environment that contrasts with a standard concert setting, focusing on the acoustics of the music room.
For those planning to attend, the venue is located at Pavilion Buildings, Brighton BN1 1EE. The space is wheelchair accessible, which is helpful for anyone with mobility requirements. When you arrive, seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis within the specific zone you have booked. Ticket prices range from ÂŁ26.50 to ÂŁ32, depending on the section. The event is open to anyone aged 8 and older, with the requirement that those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. It is a fairly contained event, lasting exactly an hour, which might be useful to know if you have other plans in the city for the rest of the night. Whether you are a long-time fan of Queen or just interested in hearing these arrangements in a historic setting, the logistics are quite clear for those interested in attending.
