# Event Details - **Event Name**: Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+09:30) - **Event Description**: The lights go down, the crowd roars, and from the very first note, you know — this is Queen, as it should be. In 2026, Queen Forever marks 20 years of electrifying audiences across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond with their Greatest Hits Tour – 20th Anniversary, and on Friday 2nd October 2026, they return to Araluen Theatre in Alice Springs for one unforgettable night. It’s been over five years since Queen Forever last performed at Araluen, and anticipation is sky-high. Fans across the Territory still talk about their previous sold-out shows, and now the band is finally back — bigger, bolder, and ready to bring the full Queen experience to life once again. Frontman Gareth Hill delivers an astonishing portrayal of Freddie Mercury — the voice, the moves, the charisma, the cheek. He captures every ounce of the showmanship and magic that made Freddie a legend. Alongside him, Scott Bastian channels Brian May with soaring guitar solos, Brad Hodgkinson drives the energy with Roger Taylor’s thunderous drumming, Darryn McLaughlin locks down John Deacon’s legendary bass lines, and Danny Oakhill completes the sound with lush keyboards and harmonies that fill the theatre to the rafters. Together, they don’t just play Queen’s songs — they become Queen. This is far more than a tribute show. It’s a full-scale rock-theatre spectacular. With dazzling visuals, lighting effects, and powerful audience interaction, Queen Forever transform every venue into a stadium atmosphere. From the first stomp of We Will Rock You to the glorious finale of We Are the Champions, the energy is electric and the crowd becomes part of the performance. Expect all the hits that defined generations — Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, Radio Ga Ga, Don’t Stop Me Now, Killer Queen, Another One Bites the Dust — performed with breathtaking authenticity. And for the true fans, each night also features a few rotating deep cuts, meaning every show is a little different — and always full of surprises. 2026 also marks 50 years since Queen first toured Australia, making this tour not only a milestone for Queen Forever but a celebration of Queen’s enduring legacy. After two decades of thrilling audiences, Queen Forever remain Australia’s most acclaimed Queen tribute, praised by fans and critics alike as “the closest you’ll get to the real thing.” Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic live once more — Queen Forever return to Araluen Theatre, Alice Springs, Friday 2nd October 2026. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alice-springs/queen-forever-alice-springs-nt-greatest-hits-tour/200029553327826 - **Event Categories**: music, art, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 380 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Alice Springs - **state**: NT - **country**: Australia - **location**: Araluen Arts Centre - **lat**: -23.701333741699 - **long**: 133.86248153272 - **full address**: Araluen Arts Centre, Araluen Exhibition Centre, 61 Larapinta Dr, Araluen NT 0870, Australia, Alice Springs ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5d8d40305a252912da52afa17c6c5c58f1c2873fca3981bc986a6b23ddb2056d-rimg-w1200-h628-dc040304-gmir?v=1776420708 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour being held? - **A:** Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour takes place on Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Araluen Arts Centre, Araluen Exhibition Centre, 61 Larapinta Dr, Araluen NT 0870, Australia, Alice Springs. - **Q**: Who is organizing Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour? - **A:** Queen Forever - ALICE SPRINGS, NT - Greatest Hits Tour is organized by Queen Forever Australia. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Queen Forever Australia's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Queen Forever Australia a rating of 3/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
