UK Queen

UK Queen are playing The Royal Hippodrome Theatre on Saturday 7 November, a full-length tribute to Queen that runs for over two hours. It's a night built around the songs most of us know by heart, with the set drawn from the band's entire catalogue rather than a single era.

They've listed some of the big ones they'll be working through: 'We Will Rock You' and 'Radio Ga Ga' from the later years, 'Don't Stop Me Now' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' from the peak, and 'Somebody To Love' alongside them. It's a broad sweep of the hits, so you'll hear the stadium anthems and the more melodic, vocal-heavy tracks in the same set. The show is more than two hours long, which gives them plenty of room to get through a good chunk of the back catalogue without rushing.

They describe themselves as a tribute act that brings Queen's music, energy and spectacle to live audiences, and they lean on three things to do it: the musicianship, authentic costumes and a frontman who captures Freddie Mercury's charisma and showmanship. It's a full-stage production, so the costumes and the performance are as much a part of the evening as the music itself.

The show starts at 7:30pm at The Royal Hippodrome Theatre, 106-114 Seaside Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex. All tickets are £29.
