Enjoy evenings dedicated to The Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and more amid a flowery haven lit up but candlelight.
Candlelight: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac’s hits are timeless for a reason. They not only feature universal themes that stir up everyday feelings and emotions, but they also possess a distinct, smooth rock edge. This season, the British-American rock band’s most popular songs are being reimagined inside St George’s Hall. A talented string quartet will serenade you with “Everywhere”, “Gypsy”, “Dreams”, and more, all while you’re surrounded by a sea of twinkling candles. It promises to be an enchanting evening you won’t want to miss.
Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA
St George’s Hall is hosting a tribute to two legendary bands that have redefined genres, wardrobes, and showmanship—Queen and ABBA, of course! With their anthemic hits and theatrical performances, they became global sensations and still hold the status as two of the greatest bands in the world.
Candlelight is swapping Freddie’s iconic vocals for powerful violin arpeggios and Björn’s lyrics for mind-blowing cello riffs. Hear “Dancing Queen”, “We Will Rock You”, and “Waterloo” as you’re surrounded by a sea of candles.
