Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic

‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ … there’s a Queen tribute show on the cards.

Get ready to farewell 2026 with a roaring night out as internationally acclaimed tribute show Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic takes over The Star Theatre on the Gold Coast.

Presented by Showtime Australia, this two-hour rock spectacular arrives in Queensland following successful tours of Canada and the United States.

Having impressed sold-out venues with its explosive production, the show combines big screens, customised lighting, special effects and outlandish costumes to recreate the chaos, theatrics and thrilling energy of the original band.

Leading the performance is classically trained singer, pianist and guitarist Warren Vernon-Driscoll, who takes to the stage singing in Freddie Mercury’s original keys, complete with all the wit, charm and bravado of the legendary frontman.

Devoted Queen fans can belt out some of the most timeless anthems in rock history, with a setlist featuring everything from ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are the Champions’ to ‘Somebody to Love’, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’ and ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’. There’s also an optional open floor for those who can’t resist having a boogie.

And with the show taking place at The Star Gold Coast, there’s every reason to turn your concert ticket into a full night of festivities. Think restaurants, bars, entertainment, accommodation and, of course, the famous New Year’s Eve fireworks, all within the one precinct.
