A live Whitney Houston tribute with vocalists and a full band at Harrogate's Royal Hall on Saturday 24 October 2026, starting at 7.30pm. Tickets run from £26 to £73.
What the evening is
Queen of the Night is a touring tribute concert to Whitney Houston. It features singers, dancers and a full live band, and covers hits from across her career. The listed songs include I Wanna Dance With Somebody, I Will Always Love You, How Will I Know and The Greatest Love Of All. The production is not associated with the Estate of Whitney Houston.
