A TRIBUTE to one of the world’s greatest rock bands will be performed at the Thameside Theatre.

Ga Ga – The Best of Queen is on at the theatre, in Orsett Road, Grays, on Saturday, March 5, from 8pm.

The band, who Brian May himself once described as “simply superb”, focus on recreating the same sound, energy and excitement of an original live Queen show.

They got together in 1989, but didn’t become a tribute act until three years later when someone suggested they concentrated on tracks by Queen.

The band performed to an audience of 60,000 people at Party in the Park, and have also performed at the Queen Convention, as well as appearing on a 2004 BBC documentary about the band.

Among the biggest hits to be performed are Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions.

Tickets for Ga Ga – The Best of Queen are £16 for adults and £12 for under-16s and concessions.
