Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA

Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA comes to St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Saturday 5 September 2026, with the music of Queen and ABBA performed under the glow of candlelight. It's a tribute concert, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the original artists, their estates or official representatives.

The venue is St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Palmerston Place in the West End, a Victorian Gothic building designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and known for its three prominent spires. The performance lasts 60 minutes, and doors open 45 minutes before it begins. There's no entry once the music has started, so it's worth arriving early if you want to settle in before the first note. Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone.

It's recommended for ages 8 and over, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult. Tickets start from £18.00, and if you can't make the September date, there are more scheduled for 4 December 2026, 23 January 2027 and 20 February 2027.
