Queen tribute show with members of Mothership, Eclipse and Burn, and Dr Strangelove, playing Queen's greatest hits without impersonation.
Classic Queen play The Continental on Thursday 17 December, a tribute to Queen's music that doesn't lean on the usual tropes. They're not about the costumes or the impersonation; their aim is to capture the sound and essence of the band without the dress-up. It's a rock show first, a tribute second.
The set is a run through Queen's greatest hits, with Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, A Kind Of Magic, Hammer To Fall and Radio Gaga all in the mix, alongside fan-favourite album cuts that don't always make the radio playlists. It's a raucous celebration of the songs, played live and loud.
Behind the name is a line-up with a fair bit of rock pedigree. The band features members of Mothership, Eclipse and Burn, with Dr Strangelove also on the bill. They arrive in Preston after a year of shows that earned them rave reviews, including dates at Liverpool's Cavern Club and headlining Guernsey's Cobo Bay Festival.

It's a Thursday night, so it works as a mid-week outing if you're not waiting for the weekend. The show runs from 20:00 to 23:00 at The Continental on South Meadow Lane, PR1 8JP, and tickets start from £13.20.
