They will perform some of Queen’s biggest hits on May 10, 2025.
Tribute band Qween and The Dublin Gospel Choir are set to join forces to perform some of rock legends Queen’s biggest hits at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on May 10, 2025.
Since their inception, Qween have grown in popularity and performed in sold-out venues across Ireland. In 2022, they featured over two days at the Forever Young Festival, with performances that included guest appearances from Tony Hadley and Mark Shaw, leading to them getting booked for the festival's main stage the following year — a first for any tribute band.
It is also in 2022 that Qween brought in The Dublin Gospel Choir, effectively matching Queen’s original lush and maximalists studio arrangements.
With this new lineup, the band sold-out dates in bigger venues, culminating in a sold-out show in Limerick’s King John’s Castle to nearly 3,000 Queen fans.

Qween vocalist Brian Keville says about the band: “There’s something about Queen that reaches out to all ages, and that audience was exactly that. Grannies to toddlers singing and clapping our Radio Ga Ga. That’s when you know you’ve done your job.”
Keville is also known for interpreting Freddie Mercury in the Live Aid drama When Harvey Met Bob alongside Domhnall Gleeson’s Bob Geldof. “Freddie had a way about everything he did that is hard to capture,” Keville comments. “You need to totally forget who you are and create this larger-than-life persona with total commitment to your audience. A real bushy moustache also helps!”.
Tickets for Qween and The Dublin Gospel Choir’s show at 3Olympia on May 10 go on sale this Friday starting from €33.65 here.
