Queen tribute concerts and exhibitions in Europe

Overview

A series of tribute concerts and cultural events celebrating what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 80th birthday are being held across Europe. The events, branded as “Forever Queen – performed by Queen Alive,” include a scheduled performance on 25 February 2027 at the Bürgerhaus in Neuenhagen, Germany, featuring hits such as “Bohemian Rhapsody.” In Weiden, Germany, the tribute act performed at the Max-Reger-Halle on 17 January 2027, promising an evening of “rock power, goose-bumps and sing-along moments.”

In the Czech Republic, the tribute band Queenie is scheduled to perform an outdoor show inspired by the 1986 Wembley “Magic Tour” on 11 August 2026 at the Křižíkova fountain in Prague. Further celebrations in the Czech Republic include the Queen Anniversary Swing Gala 2026, which will feature a rare exhibition of Mercury’s iconic costumes and artifacts in Ústí nad Orlicí, Hradec Králové, and Pardubice. This exhibition is organized in official cooperation with Queen and includes designs by Diana Moseley.

Additionally, Queenie is set to perform in Montreux, Switzerland, at the Freddie Days international fan gathering to commemorate Mercury’s 80th birthday. This follows the band’s history as the first Czech group to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2019.
