Guild Queen Nation Concert sold out

Queen Nation, the number one Queen tribute band in the country, is coming to Canyon Lake on Nov. 21 and is the biggest show the Canyon Lake Fine Arts Guild has hosted in the last several years. Its popularity is confirmed by the concert being completely sold out for almost two years.

Those with tickets will attend the 7:00 p.m. concert in the Holiday Bay Room of the Canyon Lake Lodge. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Guild members are invited to a pre-concert reception at 5:30 p.m.

“Queen Nation is the West Coast’s longest running most authentic fully costumed re-creation of a vintage Queen concert,” Guild President Bonnie Dubbs said. “The show consists of four musicians who all sing and perform in character and in period costumes while playing live note-for-note renditions of Classic Queen songs.”

Queen Nation put on 150 shows across the United States in 2019. The band was recently inducted into the California Music Hall of Fame’s 2020 inaugural class and voted The Best Live Band at the 2020 VCMAs.
