(The following press release is from Emily Miller of Laughlin Constable Public Relations.)

JOLIET, IL — Hollywood Casino Joliet today announced Killer Queen, a tribute band to Queen, will headline its stage Friday, July 3. Tickets are available to the public via Ticketmaster on Feb. 27 with pre-sale for PENN Play loyalty members on Feb. 25.

“Killer Queen will bring the spirit of Freddie Mercury to the Hollywood Casino Joliet stage and fill the room with remarkable energy, powerhouse vocals and an unforgettable stage presence,” said Ruben Warren, Vice President and General Manager of Hollywood Casino Joliet. “It will be a nostalgic, high-energy performance that fans of Queen won’t want to miss.”

Established in 1993, U.K.-based Killer Queen is the world’s first Queen tribute band, beginning at London University nearly two decades after the original band formed. Led by Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury, the band won the Best Worldwide Tribute Band award at a red-carpet event in Leicester Square in 1997. Killer Queen is the only tribute band to have sold out the same arenas as Queen at the height of the original groups’ career. Known for recreating Queen’s iconic harmonies and Mercury’s legendary stage presence, Killer Queen is widely regarded as one of the most authentic Queen tribute acts in the world.

Tickets are available to the public for purchase on Feb. 27. More information about the upcoming performance and Hollywood Casino Joliet events can be found at www.hollywoodcasinojoliet.com/entertainment.
