An Orchestral Tribute to Queen

The Great British Concert Orchestra are playing a tribute to Queen at Gloucester Cathedral on Thursday 15 April 2027. It's a concert celebrating the music and the enduring legacy of the band, and the whole thing is performed by the orchestra rather than a rock band.

There's one detail that sets this apart from a typical tribute: the original singer's voice is left untouched. Queen's catalogue is reimagagined through live vocals, a world-class chamber orchestra and rich arrangements delivered by The Great British Concert Orchestra, an ensemble that describes itself as dedicated to presenting the music of history's most influential artists in bold and imaginative new ways. So, instead of a cover band playing the hits, you've got the original vocals backed by a chamber orchestra.

It's a fairly late one, too. There are two performances on the night: the first runs from 7.30pm to 8.15pm, and the second from 9pm to 10.15pm. Both take place in the Nave of the cathedral, at 12 College Green, GL1 2LX. Tickets for adults are £30.
