A popular tribute show is returning to New Zealand for another nationwide tour.

The Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic tribute show has just finished a successful tour of Australia, and is now bringing sparkling new costuming and some previously unperformed Queen tracks to stages across Aotearoa New Zealand.

South African performer Dominic Warren continues in his role as Freddie Mercury. He says performing piano and guitar live on stage, as well as singing, has given him a deep appreciation for Mercury’s talent.

“It’s one thing to create these musical masterpieces, but a whole other thing to be able to go and perform them in the unique, spectacular way that he did. He is a very hard artist to replicate but it’s an honour to try.”

This year’s tour will feature some songs that haven’t been featured in previous versions, as well as all the popular hit songs the British band became well-known for.

The show promises audiences a full rock concert experience, with lighting, audio and special effects all designed to be bigger, better and even louder than previous tours.
