Welcome to 2023 and 20 years of The Killer Queen Experience! It's been an amazing journey so far and 2023 is once again taking the show to new destinations and venues across Australia and abroad.

About the Show

Our signature 2-hour live show The Killer Queen Experience has toured to sold out shows in the UK, Norway, Singapore, Russia, and India, and every city in Australia, and shared billing with the likes of Jeff Beck ( RIP ), Foreigner, Journey, Twisted Sister, Thin Lizzie, and Kelly Rowland.

This show features Queen’s greatest hits, including – Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Somebody To Love, Radio Ga Ga, Another One Bites The Dust, and more songs that will bring a smile (or a tear) to any Queen fan.

Our NEW 3-hour show The Ultimate Experience is an extravagant tribute to Queen,David Bowie And Elton John, that we’ve toured in Australia to rave reviews.

Worldwide Acclaim

John Blunt is renowned worldwide for his uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury, and played Mercury in the 2016 UK biopic “The Freddie Mercury Story - Who Wants To Live Forever”. John has once again been cast as Freddie Mercury in the upcoming Australian movie Seriously Red (2021), starring Rose Byrne. He has appeared regularly on shows like Studio 10 and The Today Show (watch the interviews), and is even mentioned on Freddie Mercury’s Wikipedia page.

Made in Australia

Despite the demand for Killer Queen overseas, it all started for us here in Brisbane. Our career was built on Leagues Club and RSL Club shows around Australia. We continue to play affordable shows for smaller venues around Australia, and our strongest endorsement is the clubs who book us over and over.

The Experience
If you’re thinking of booking or seeing us for the first time, nothing can prepare you for it. John’s eerie resemblance of Freddie Mercury will transport you back in time, and there’s something about the meticulous attention to detail – the instruments, the costumes, the mannerisms, and true musicians – that stirs an emotional response in the people who see our shows (see what they say).

​

We hope you get to experience it in 2022!
