Xtreme Queen’s concerts are an immersive multimedia experience; a captivating blend of music and visual artistry, uniting fans in a shared chorus of anthems like “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You.” Xtreme Queen’s dedication shines in their authentic recreation of Queen’s 1985 LIVE AID set ­­­­­— the only Queen Tribute Band that reproduces in full detail as part of every concert! The band’s encore, a stirring rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” transforms the concert into a collective harmony, leaving a lasting impression on all who attend.

Lead Singer S. Thomas metamorphoses into Freddie Mercury on stage, channeling the legendary rock icon’s signature moves, electrifying charisma, and boundless energy. Celebrating more than ten years of tribute performances, his appearances on Good Morning America, VH1, and MTV have showcased his ability to capture Mercury’s legendary showmanship, captivating personality, and remarkable vocal strength. Rob R., the lead guitarist, is a maestro whose talent has graced stages alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers, LL Cool J, Vince Neil, and Andy Cooney, echoing the distinctive style of Queen’s Brian May. Bassist James L. carries a legacy of musical excellence, having honed his craft with bass legends from the bands of Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, and Herbie Hancock. Drummer Dave W., embodying the spirit of Roger Taylor, has showcased his prowess opening for renowned acts like White Lion, Skidrow, Obsession, and EZO, infusing the band with his unique energy.

Tickets range from $29–$55 and are available for purchase online. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.
