Killer Queen's first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there decades earlier. Lead singer Patrick Myers said It's been an amazing journey. That first show changed my life. We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most but it's a very addictive thing performing these songs. The concerts grew and grew and we've ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It's been quite a surreal ride. Becoming regular performers at Red Rocks in America is another highlight. The Beatles, U2, Springsteen, Dylan all played on that stage. It's really got its own kind of magic going on there.

Looking for a place to eat before the show? For a classic American steakhouse, you can't go wrong with CUT 158 Chophouse, just steps away from the Rialto. Try their delicious 16oz lamb chops paired with a craft cocktail or glass of wine. A little further down the street is Juliet's, serving traditional Italian cuisine in a welcoming sports atmosphere. From burgers to pasta to flatbreads, Juliet's is always a win. If you'd rather just grab a beer, try one of Joliet's two local breweries, Elder Brewing Co. and MyGrain Brewing Co.
