Few frontmen have ever matched Freddie Mercury. A Freddie tribute is about stage presence and anthems: the whole room clapping to Radio Ga Ga and shouting along to We Will Rock You.
About our Freddie Mercury tribute
Our Freddie Mercury tribute is performed by Paul Taylor, who has been recreating Freddie for over 15 years and also fronts the band QEII.
Show formats and set lengths
Paul Taylor performs Freddie self-contained, with a Freddie and party set and a multi-tribute show available, in 2 x 45 or 1 x 60-minute formats. Two 45-minute sets suit most parties: one after the meal, one later in the evening. A single 60-minute show suits a headline slot or a surprise. The act can provide background music during breaks.
The songs guests will expect
A good Freddie Mercury tribute builds the set around the best-known songs from the 70s and 80s:
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Don't Stop Me Now
- We Will Rock You
- We Are the Champions
- Somebody to Love
- Radio Ga Ga
Why this show is worth a look
- Paul has recreated Freddie Mercury for over 15 years and fronts the Queen tribute QEII.
- He has supported original acts including Slade, Suzi Quatro and Paul Young.
- He has played to large festival crowds as well as private events.
The act profile has video and photos.
Space and set-up
The act brings its own sound equipment, so the venue only needs to provide space and power. Plan the set-up for when the room is quiet, usually during the meal or before guests arrive.
Where a Freddie Mercury tribute works best
- Corporate parties and awards: We Are the Champions is made for a celebration.
- Festivals and outdoor events: Stadium anthems for a big crowd.
- 50th and 60th birthdays: Guests who grew up with Live Aid will love it.
- Rock nights: A guaranteed headliner.
What to sort out first
- Would a multi-tribute show suit your event?
- Is the stage big enough for a Freddie-style performance?
- Is there a private room the performer can use to change?
- Will the room be turned around after the meal, and how long will that take?
Share the answers with us and we'll brief the act.

- Check the date with us first, since Friday and Saturday nights in December and summer go early.
- Confirm the finish time and any sound limiter with your venue.
- Agree when the Freddie Mercury show starts relative to food and speeches.
- Send song requests in good time.
