Flash | A Tribute to QUEEN : Excited To Headline SOLD OUT Sheffield Fake Festival 2026

The wait is finally over and we honestly couldn’t be more excited to officially kick off our 2026 festival season by headlining this year’s completely SOLD OUT Sheffield Fake Festival.

There really is no better way for us to begin another huge summer of live shows than returning to one of the UK’s most loved tribute festival tours, surrounded by incredible music, amazing people and an atmosphere that only Fake Festivals can create.

A Festival That Feels Like Home

Having proudly performed as part of the Fake Festivals annual tour for well over 10 years, this event has become far more than just another date on the calendar for us — it’s become family.

Every year we arrive and see familiar faces from the crew, organisers, security teams, vendors, performers and fans who return year after year because of the unique atmosphere these festivals create. There’s a genuine sense of togetherness from the moment the gates open until the final encore finishes.

Some of our favourite memories as a band have happened on Fake Festivals stages — massive crowd singalongs, unforgettable summer sunsets, thousands of people arm in arm singing Queen classics back at us and seeing entire families dancing together from the front barrier right to the back of the field.

That’s what makes these events so special.

Sheffield Fake Festival 2026

This year’s Sheffield event promises to be another unforgettable day of live music, energy and atmosphere.

Set within one of the UK’s best loved tribute festival environments, Sheffield Fake Festival always delivers an electric crowd, fantastic staging, incredible sound and that unbeatable summer festival feeling from the very first act to the final headline performance.

Joining us on this year’s incredible line-up are outstanding tributes to:

• Arctic Monkeys
• Fleetwood Mac
• Green Day
• INXS
• R.E.M.

To headline alongside such fantastic acts is a real privilege for us and we cannot wait to bring a huge Queen show to Sheffield to launch the summer in true style.

“As Close As It Gets”

Over the years we’ve been incredibly proud to hear so many amazing comments from festival audiences and promoters alike.

“Absolutely incredible from start to finish.”
“The atmosphere during Bohemian Rhapsody was unbelievable.”
“Flash don’t just perform Queen songs — they recreate the magic.”

Being described by the BBC as “As close as it gets” remains one of the proudest moments in our journey as a band and every single show we perform, we strive to live up to that.

Sheffield May Be SOLD OUT… But The Tour Continues

Although Sheffield Fake Festival 2026 is now officially SOLD OUT, there are still plenty more Fake Festivals dates happening across the UK this summer.
