Majesty’s Autumn 2025 UK Tour: 24 Shows Bringing The Best of Queen Across Britain
Earlier in 2025, Majesty had taken Queen’s greatest hits across Denmark for our first ten-date tour of Denmark.
A few months later, after more international dates in the USA, it was time to bring The Best of Queen back home.
What followed was one of the busiest stretches of Majesty’s year.
Between September and December 2025, we performed 24 UK shows across 19 venues, travelling from Maidstone to Ulverston, Swansea to Southend, Barnstaple to St Helens and plenty of places in between.
Some theatres were familiar. Some were new. Several welcomed us for two nights.
And everywhere we went, the same thing kept appearing in the photographs and comments afterwards: people singing, standing, dancing, coming back for a second time — and sometimes a seventh!
Our Autumn 2025 UK Tour was a reminder that some of our most passionate audiences were waiting for us back at home too.

That meant five separate two-night theatre visits at Maidstone, Worcester, Stevenage, Bridgwater and Tamworth. And there were some rather intense stretches in between.
Two Nights in Maidstone — and Straight Back on the Road
The autumn run began at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone.
Two nights at the Hazlitt to get us back into the swing of things. Just enough time to remember which bag the costumes were in.
The response afterwards was exactly what you want on night one of a long run. One audience member wrote:
“It was the second time I had seen you guys and it was just as good, if not better than the first.”
Another said:
“Thank you for such an incredible show and introducing our kids to Queen in the best way imaginable.”
Perhaps one of the nicest indications of how the first night had gone came from someone who wanted to do the whole thing again immediately:
“Amazing night! Would have booked again tonight, if it hadn’t been sold out!”
That second Maidstone night brought another wave of comments describing the band as “first class” and “soooo talented”.
Tour officially started. No pressure, then.
Our incredible audience singing loud and proud at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone. A fairly convincing argument for doing it all again the following night.
Southend and Ulverston — Returning Queen Fans
The following night took Majesty to the Palace Theatre in Southend.
One audience member summed up exactly what we increasingly saw throughout the run:
“Absolutely amazing — saw you guys last year and Sunday just gone.”
Another simply said:
“We had a great night… will see you again.”
Southend, you’re making a habit of this. We approve.
Then it was north. Very north.
On 27 September we arrived at The Coro in Ulverston with The Best of Queen. Different end of the country. Same hands in the air.
The comments afterwards included perhaps the best possible request from any audience:
“Brilliant, loved it — please come again.”
We intended to.
Five Shows in Five Nights
October began with the sort of schedule that makes touring feel like touring.
Coventry. Sevenoaks. Swansea. Chesterfield. Wellingborough.
Five theatres. Five nights. Five different towns.
On 1 October we opened the run at Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre.
The Belgrade asked anyone planning to dance to book the stalls, with dancing off-limits in the steeply raked circle. Fair enough — but although they stayed seated, we’ve never seen so many bums wiggling in unison!
Audience reaction afterwards included:
“If anyone goes to any of Majesty’s shows and don’t have a fantastic night then you don’t like Queen’s music.”
And:
“What a great show last night at the Belgrade Theatre Coventry.”
Twenty-four hours later, we were at The Stag in Sevenoaks. This one produced a comment that says a lot about Majesty’s audience:
“This is the 7th time we have seen Majesty. Great guys and amazingly talented!”
Seven times. At that stage, they probably knew the show better than we did.
Another audience member wrote:
“Rob’s vocals always blow us away.”
And The Stag itself joined in afterwards:
“Another majestic night! We can't wait to see you back at The Stag soon.”
When both the audience and the venue want you back, it would be rude to argue. Sevenoaks, you were glorious.
Our incredible audience singing loud and proud at The Stag in Sevenoaks. Seven visits in, some of you clearly didn’t need a rehearsal.
Swansea, Chesterfield and Wellingborough
Night three took us west to Swansea Grand Theatre. The audience didn’t take much persuading.
One comment afterwards read:
“Brilliant show — really got the audience going from the start.”
Others called it “excellent”, “absolutely brilliant” and simply “great show — we loved it.”
The following night was Winding Wheel Theatre in Chesterfield. One comment stood out because it came from somebody who clearly wasn’t automatically going to be impressed:
“I was sceptical with being a Queen fan since the 80s… he was fantastic.”
We'll take that.
Castle Theatre, Wellingborough, on 5 October rounded off our five-night stretch. By then, “what town are we in?” was becoming a perfectly reasonable question.
There were plenty of great comments, but one story from the night stood out. A grandfather thanked our Brian May for coming off stage after the show to speak to his granddaughter Isla, pose for a photograph and give her one of the sixpence plectrums used during the performance.
It was the second time she had seen Majesty. Apparently she “loved every second of it.”
Those moments aren't on a set list. But they're a huge part of why touring is worthwhile.
Worcester to Stevenage — and Fans Following the Tour
After five consecutive shows, there was precisely one day to recover. Then came another stretch.
Two nights at the Swan Theatre in Worcester on 7 and 8 October were followed by St Helens and then another two-night visit to Stevenage.
Two nights in Worcester. Four musicians. Considerably louder than a quiet Tuesday and Wednesday.
Comments ranged from:
“Absolutely superb. Four hugely talented musicians.”
to:
“That was AMAZING!”
But one particularly made us smile. A fan subsequently wrote:
“Fabulous night in Worcester and we saw you again tonight in Stevenage. Twice in a week and brilliant both times.”
That's commitment.
St Helens — Everyone Singing
Between Worcester and Stevenage came Theatre Royal St Helens.
One audience member described the atmosphere better than we could:
“Wow, what a night! Absolutely fantastic show, got everyone rockin, singing, and of course clapping.”
That is really what Majesty wants a Queen show to be.
We're not particularly interested in audiences quietly observing a collection of songs. Queen's concerts were participatory. Freddie worked the crowd. Thousands of people became part of the performance.
On whatever scale we're working, that's the atmosphere we're trying to capture.
Two Nights in Stevenage
Next came two nights at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage. Plenty of familiar faces, and plenty of singing.
Some of you were going to need as much vocal rest as we did:
“Another great night — voice almost gone, sang so much.”
Another thanked us for playing the song she'd requested. Others had already seen Majesty before and were planning the next visit.
That's when a touring production starts becoming something more than a collection of bookings. You begin recognising towns. Then venues. Then faces. Then people tell you they'll be there again next year.
Barnstaple and Two More Nights in Bridgwater
The next leg took Majesty south-west.
On 16 October we arrived at Queen’s Theatre in Barnstaple. A Queen show at Queen’s Theatre — even the sign outside was on our side.
The response was simple:
“Absolutely fantastic show.”
“What a brilliant night.”
“Absolutely brilliant night — hoping you come back again.”
Then came another two-night run at McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater.
Once again, the phrase that kept appearing was “as always.”
“Was a brilliant evening as always with you.”
“Fabulous as always.”
“Loved it. Will definitely come see you play again.”
“As always” is a lovely thing to read. You’ve seen us before, you’ve come back, and you’ve had another cracking night. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Our incredible audience at McMillan Theatre in Bridgwater, singing loud and proud on night two. “As always”, you gave it everything.
Back Out in November — Portsmouth to Potters Bar
After the intense September and October schedule, November brought another cluster of major theatre dates.
On 15 November we were back at the magnificent King’s Theatre in Portsmouth. A room like that deserves a bit of theatre. Luckily, Freddie wasn’t exactly shy.
The response included:
“Top quality night.”
And:
“It was a fantastic night, please come back to Portsmouth next year.”
Then came Swan Theatre, High Wycombe before another Majesty favourite: The Stables in Wavendon.
At The Stables in Wavendon, so many of you wanted to join us that the venue opened up balcony standing:
“Due to public demand balcony standing is now available.”
More room for Queen fans. Less chance of a quiet Thursday.
That’s how we like our Thursdays.
The comments were just as encouraging:
“Yet another fantastic evening.”
“You guys were fantastic last night at The Stables… one of the best nights I've had at Stables.”
“Brilliant show again.”
Another night, another audience already talking about the next one. We’re very happy to keep this arrangement going.
Potters Bar — Another Sixpence Finds a Home
The following evening brought Majesty to Wyllyotts Theatre in Potters Bar.
From Somebody to Love to Radio Ga Ga, Potters Bar gave us plenty of help with the singing. Freddie would have appreciated the backing choir.
One audience member thanked the band after her husband received a coin from the guitarist at the end of the evening.
Others simply called it:
“A brilliant night.”
and:
“Amazing.”
Another tiny interaction. Another sixpence. Another person taking a little piece of the show home.
Tamworth — Two Nights and One of the Reactions of the Tour
The final major double-header came at Tamworth Assembly Rooms on 26 and 27 November. And Tamworth absolutely threw itself into it.
One audience member wrote:
“The best Queen tribute band I've ever seen. They were all incredible — the atmosphere was electric. Can't wait to see them again.”
Another:
“Went last night and had a fantastic night — so much talent and energy, the room was buzzing.”
And perhaps the biggest compliment of the run came from someone who said Majesty was:
“as close to the real Freddie Mercury/Queen as I'm ever going to see.”
There were second-time visitors. People already planning a third. People saying they hoped to return the following year.
Two nights of Queen music in Tamworth and plenty of people apparently ready for a third.
Our incredible audience at Tamworth Assembly Rooms in Tamworth, singing loud and proud on the first of two nights. Turn it up — they certainly did.
Evesham — One Last Show
And then, after nearly three months of theatres, motorways, load-ins, soundchecks, costumes, guitars, drums, hotels and a frankly unreasonable amount of Freddie Mercury… there was one more.
Regal Theatre, Evesham — 12 December 2025.
The final UK theatre date of Majesty's autumn run. Twenty-four performances after we began in Maidstone, the tour came to its end.
More Than 24 Shows
Twenty-four shows looks good on a tour poster. But the bit that stays with us is how many of you came back.
“Fabulous as always.” “Second time seeing you.” “Third time next year.” “Seventh time we've seen Majesty.” “Please come back.” “See you again.”
One person watched us in Worcester and then turned up again in Stevenage days later. Children were being introduced to Queen by their parents. A young fan went home with a sixpence plectrum after meeting “Brian”. People who had watched Majesty the previous year returned.
Same songs. New memories. And plenty of familiar faces.
We never take that for granted. You could spend your evening anywhere, and you chose another night of Queen with us. Thank you.
Thank You for an Incredible Autumn
So to everyone who joined us somewhere between Maidstone and Evesham: thank you.
For the singing, the clapping, the photos, the lovely messages and the occasional second show in the same week — thank you.
And particularly, thank you to everyone who came back for another night.
Denmark and America had already given us plenty to remember in 2025. Back home, you made sure Britain had its turn.
Twenty-four shows. Nineteen venues. Thousands of Queen fans. And an awful lot of Radio Ga Ga clapping.
We'll see you on the road.
