Formed in 2018 by a group of seasoned performers, Qween is an Irish tribute band dedicated to meticulously recreating the theatrical magic and "essence" of a classic Queen concert through microscopic detail, using everything from period-correct sixpences as guitar picks to iconic custom costumes. Their rapid rise in popularity saw them selling out major venues across Ireland and making history in 2023 as the first tribute act to play the main stage at the Forever Young Festival following successful collaborations with artists like Tony Hadley and Mark Shaw. By drafting the Dublin Gospel Choir in 2022, the band successfully bridged the gap between Queen’s raw live energy and their complex studio arrangements, culminating in massive landmark performances such as a sold-out show for 3,000 fans at King John’s Castle. Despite their professional success, the group faced a significant personal challenge in late 2023 when lead singer Brian Keville was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer; however, the band and the wider community rallied together through viral fundraising efforts supported by various celebrities to aid his recovery and celebrate his life-long passion for performance. QWEEN brings their new show to the 3Olympia Theatre
in Dublin September 4th 2026.
