Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door; seating is first-come, first served.

MUSIC

Almost Queen
April 29, 8 p.m.
Highline Ballroom, 431 W. 16th St.

Losing so many musical legends in 2016 definitely makes us reflect on the songs that defined our lives. Another of the most influential acts of our time, indisputably, is Queen, whose catalogue will get a passionate play-through on Friday night by rock cover band Almost Queen. They bring all of the insane harmonies and costumes from a classic Queen concert, capturing the energy and heart of the hits that defined the ‘80s and are just as powerful today.
