Join us for a stunning live concert recreating and celebrating the music of Queen. Performed by Gary Mullen and The Works, with Queens original concert staging, lighting, and effects, this show will rock you” guaranteed! All the hits are there, including “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are the Champions,” and, of course, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”


Queen formed in 1971, and in 1973 signed their first recording contract for EMI. That year they released their first album, “QUEEN.” The same year saw their first major UK tour, and in 1974 they released QUEEN II as well as making their first UK headlining tour. They made their first US tour, and in November released “SHEER HEART ATTACK” which was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

1975 saw their new release, “A NIGHT AT THE OPERA,” and – significantly – the single “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It became one of the greatest singles of all time, staying at No. 1 in the UK chart for nine weeks. The video, directed by Bruce Gowers, is credited with being the first genuine promotional video. The song has regularly featured in all major pop polls and was recently named again as the best single of all time. The success of “A NIGHT AT THE OPERA” was equally stunning, giving the band their first platinum album.

In 1976 they toured the US and Japan and by spring all four albums resided in the UK Top Twenty. Later that year they released A DAY AT THE RACES, and gave a free concert in Hyde Park to an estimated crowd of 200,000 fans. The album was a huge success, advance orders alone amounting to over 500,000. The following year saw two major US tours, the band’s sixth album, NEWS OF THE WORLD and the legendary double A side single, WE WILL ROCK YOU and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

1978’s JAZZ, included another huge hit single in Bicycle Race and Queen tour
ed the US and Canada. They spent much of 1979 touring in Europe and Japan, as well as releasing their first live album, LIVE KILLERS. They were also approached to write the score for a forthcoming feature film, FLASH GORDON. Before that they released THE GAME in 1980 which went five times platinum in Canada alone. “Another One Bites The Dust” became the band’s biggest selling American single. Later that year the soundtrack for FLASH GORDON was released, and by the end of the year Queen had sold over 45,000,000 albums worldwide.

In 1981 Queen toured the Far East and were the first band to make a stadium tour of South America. They played to 131,000 people in Sao Paolo, the largest paying audience for any band anywhere in the world. “GREATEST HITS,” “GREATEST FLIX” and “GREATEST PIX” were released simultaneously later in the year and

1986 saw their 14th album, “A KIND OF MAGIC,” which was the soundtrack to the Russel Mulcahy film, Highlander. The title track became another worldwide smash and the album entered the UK charts at No. 1; later in the year the 2nd live album, “LIVE MAGIC,” went into the charts at No. 3. Between 1988 and 1991 Queen released three more albums, “THE MIRACLE” in 1989 and in 1991 “INNUENDO” and “GREATEST HITS TWO.” All three entered the UK charts at No. 1.

In December of 1991 Queen had 10 albums in the UK Top 100.
In 1995 the tracks that Queen had begun in 1991 were completed by Brian, Roger and John and the long-awaited MADE IN HEAVEN was released worldwide. It was the end of an era. Since then the phenomenon of Queen has remained, however, with continuing sales for their recorded output on CD and video. A ballet of their music by famous French choreographer Maurice Bejart was premiered at the National Theatre in Paris in 1997 and in May 2002 the hit musical “We Will Rock You” opened to sell-out audiences in London’s West End and continues to play to packed houses and standing ovations every night. Queen’s first DVD Greatest Video Hits Vol.1 was released at the end of October 2002, and yet another piece of Queen product entered the UK charts at number 1. October 2002 also saw Queen receive their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Los Angeles, joining The Beatles as only one of a handful of non-US bands to receive the much coveted honour. Finally, in 2004 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in the UK were voted by the public into the first UK Music Hall of Fame.
