The lights go down, the crowd roars, and from the very first note you know — this is Queen, as it should be. On Saturday 3 October 2026, Queen Forever bring their Greatest Hits Tour – 20th Anniversary to the Darwin Entertainment Centre, delivering the ultimate tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
From the opening song, Darwin audiences will be transported straight into the world of Freddie Mercury and Queen. Gareth Hill’s portrayal of Freddie is nothing short of astonishing — the voice, the flamboyance, the unmistakable stage presence. He commands the stage with the same magnetic energy that made Freddie a global icon. Alongside him, Scott Bastian delivers soaring Brian May guitar solos with pinpoint accuracy, Brad Hodgkinson drives the show with thunderous Roger Taylor-style drumming, Darryn McLaughlin locks in John Deacon’s legendary bass lines, and Danny Oakhill completes the sound with rich keyboards and harmonies. Together, they don’t just perform Queen’s music — they become Queen.
This is far more than a standard tribute show. Queen Forever deliver a full-scale theatrical rock experience, complete with immersive visuals, powerful lighting, and unforgettable crowd interaction. When the opening notes of Bohemian Rhapsody ring out, the Darwin Entertainment Centre becomes one giant choir. When We Will Rock You hits, you’ll feel it through the floor. And when We Are the Champions closes the night, the atmosphere is nothing short of electric.
The setlist is stacked with the songs that defined generations — Somebody to Love, Radio Ga Ga, Don’t Stop Me Now, Killer Queen, Another One Bites the Dust — all performed with breathtaking authenticity. Long-time fans are also rewarded with a selection of rotating deep cuts, ensuring each show remains fresh, exciting, and full of surprises.
2026 marks both Queen Forever’s 20th anniversary and 50 years since Queen first toured Australia, making this tour a celebration on a truly epic scale. Rather than focusing on one moment in history, Queen Forever present the full power and legacy of Queen’s incredible catalogue.
For two decades, Queen Forever have thrilled audiences across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, earning a reputation as hands down the most entertaining Queen tribute in the world. Their Darwin performance promises to be one of the standout live music events of the year.
This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of music, theatre, and rock history.
