About this event

The Candlelight series lands at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Townsville City, turning the room into a sea of candles for a string-quartet run through Queen and The Beatles.

Paradiso Strings handle the programme, working through Beatles staples like Here Comes the Sun, Yesterday and Come Together before pivoting to Queen — Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You and Another One Bites the Dust among them.

Worth knowing: this is a tribute night, not the actual bands. Sets run 60 minutes, doors open half an hour before, and there's no entry once it starts.
