They Will, They Will Rock You

Coming to the Suffolk Theater on Friday, September 8, at 8 p.m. will be “The Ultimate Queen Celebration,” a thrilling show that brings to life Queen’s greatest hits like “Radio Gaga,” “Tie Your Mother Down,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Killer Queen,” “Somebody to Love,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and so many more.

The Ultimate Queen Celebration features lead vocalist Yvan Pendault backed by some of the finest musicians on the scene who have toured with the likes of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Rock of Ages, Cher, and more.

In 2016, Brian May and Roger Taylor, founding members of Queen, discovered Yvan Pedneault after he performed on Canada’s “La Voix” (Quebec’s version of “The Voice”). Yvan was then offered the leading role in the Toronto production of “We Will Rock You” before being cast in the first North American tour of “Queen Extravaganza,” the group's official tribute band developed by Roger Taylor himself.

When May says "He's the kind of performer you dream of finding," and Roger Taylor of Queen says, "He's fantastic, magnetic!" you know it's going to be a good show.

"They never asked me to emulate Freddy in any way shape or form. but they picked me and trusted my voice to bring justice to their songs,” said Pedneault. “I pride myself in giving an energetic and ‘in your face’ type of performance. I'm pumped to take on this new project with Ultimate Queen Celebration."

Pedneault captures the essence of Queen’s timeless classics in a truly remarkable way. His dynamic vocal range and charismatic stage presence pays a fitting tribute to the legendary band, drawing audiences into a world where the spirit of Queen lives on. Whether belting out anthems like “Bohemian Rhapsody” with intense fervor or infusing ballads like “Somebody to Love” with heart-wrenching emotion, Pendault’s performances resonate as a stunning homage to one of the greatest rock bands in history.

Tickets for “The Ultimate Queen Celebration” are $45 to $75 at thesuffolk.org. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street, Riverhead.
