Newport, are you ready for Freddie?

The mercury will rise at the Newport Performing Arts Center when the premier Queen tribute band, Epic Queen, takes the stage this Saturday, Sept. 20.

This highly anticipated concert is a featured event of Newport Oregon Pride weekend, promising a celebration of music and community.

A popular Seattle-based ensemble, Epic Queen delivers an authentic and powerful homage to the legendary British rock band. Their performances are an immersive experience that recreate the incredible sonic and visual energy of a live Queen concert, while maintaining the meticulous accuracy of the original studio recordings.

Guests will be treated to a comprehensive setlist spanning Queen’s iconic ’70s and ’80s eras, featuring all the beloved hits and a few deep cuts. From the operatic grandeur of “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the anthemic “We Will Rock You” and the funky bassline of “Another One Bites the Dust,” the band’s performance is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Freddie Mercury and his bandmates.

Saturday’s show starts at 7:30 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street. Tickets are between $45 and $55, with a limited number of $15 student tickets available for purchase with a valid ID. For more information, go to coastarts.com or call 541-265-2787.
