From a press release:

The F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre has announced that God Save the Queen, the premier Queen tribute band, has been rescheduled from Saturday, Sept. 24 and will now perform on Friday, Feb. 3 at 8 p.m.

This is the second time that God Save the Queen has rescheduled; they were originally set to play the Kirby Center last year on Feb. 5.

Tickets purchased for the original date will be valid and refunds will be available at the customer’s point of purchase. Tickets, which are $28, $38, $48, and $76, plus fees, are on sale now and available at the Kirby Center box office (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre), online at kirbycenter.org, and by phone at 570-826-1100.

You’ve seen the rest, now sit back and enjoy the best Queen since Queen. Without a doubt, this is the most authentic Queen tribute ever. Queen still sells millions of records per year, and this show packs all their greatest hits into a perfect note, two-hour musical extravaganza. God Save the Queen follows the band’s history from their beginnings in 1973 to their last album, “Made in Heaven,” released after vocalist Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991.

God Save the Queen has been a phenomenal success, thrilling audiences in Europe, South America, and India, climaxing with sold-out performances at the Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires and Via Funchal Theatre in Sao Paulo and drawing a crowd of 35,000 people at the Mathew Street Festival in Liverpool, just to name a few.

With incredible lighting, sumptuous sound, and outstanding performances, along with singer Pablo Padín’s one-of-a-kind resemblance to Mercury, this show is the closest to Queen you will ever get and is set to be a must-see event of the year, bringing some of the greatest moments in rock history vividly back to life.
