About
VELVETEEN QUEEN
We present Velveteen Queen, the Swedish rock band that has been making waves in the music industry since its inception.
Velveteen Queen is a standout rock band with a unique blend of classic rock, drawing inspiration from bands such as Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and The Black Crowes.
Since their debut in 2022, they have established themselves as one of the most exciting and dynamic acts within the genre. With a strong stage presence and high-energy performances, Velveteen Queen delivers unforgettable live experiences that resonate with both festival audiences and club crowds alike.
In 2025 Velveteen Queen signed a worldwide deal with Warner Music, marking a major milestone in their rapidly growing career. Now, the band is ready to take the next step with the release of their highly anticipated new album, The Greater Good, set to hit stores and streaming platforms on September 18, 2026. Before the full album drops, Velveteen Queen will release three singles, giving fans an exciting preview of what’s to come. The first single ”The Greater Good” , accompanied by a brand-new music video, will be released on May 6, 2026.
Despite their young age, these talented musicians—each between 20 and 24 years old—have already achieved more than most bands ever dream of. Velveteen Queen has performed at some of Sweden’s most prominent festivals, including Sweden Rock Festival, Skogsröjet Festival, Time To Rock Festival, Kristianstad Rockfest, and Malmö Festival.
In 2023, the band proudly released their first self-produced maxi vinyl, “The Theatre Sessions,” which received strong praise from the press. In 2024, they released their critically acclaimed debut album, “Consequence of the City,” and shortly thereafter signed an exclusive licensing deal with King Records in Japan. “Consequence of the City” was released in Japan and across Asia in January 2025.
The momentum around Velveteen Queen continued to grow after they shared the stage with rock icons such as Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and Megadeth at Sweden Rock Festival 2024. They also had the honor of opening a couple of shows for for Mammoth WVH, followed by their first European tour with Nestor, covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
