Queen Nation 

Late-Nite Productions is proud to present an evening celebrating the music of Queen! This is taking place on Saturday, August 24, 2024 at the Bally’s Lake Tahoe Showroom. Queen Nation is recognized as the most popular, accurate, and highest-grossing fully-costumed re-creation of a vintage Queen concert in the US. Comprising four musicians to reflect the original Queen lineup, the band performs in detailed 70s & 80s Queen-era costumes. All of this is presented in a live 90-minute concert experience, with note-for-note renditions of classic Queen songs like: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” “Somebody To Love,” “We Are The Champions,” “Fat Bottom Girls,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “My Best Friend,” and “Dragon Attack.”

Featured frontman vocalist Gregory Finsley is an amazing singer with an uncanny tone and captivating stage energy that matches the late great Freddie Mercury to a tee. Gregory is a concert trained pianist which allows him to accurately and skillfully play piano live during the shows as did Freddie Mercury back in the day. Queen Nation is the real deal. They deliver the goods and guarantee concertgoers a show without any interruptions, lulls for changes into multiple costumes and never use any cheesy props or wear fake mustaches.

The band’s creed is quite simple, “We try to perform the music of Queen humbly, tastefully and respectfully while paying homage to our Rock Idols without resorting to any corny cliché antics or images. We let the fans and Talent Buyers decide where we fit in the pecking order of the Queen tribute world if that topic is brought up. Our primary focus will always be based on consistently delivering the best sonic gut punch of a pure vintage Queen show in an entertaining concert format every time we take the stage.”
