Following the resounding success of their North American tour, The Queen Extravaganza announces that its first ever UK tour will hit British shores in October.
The official Queen tribute show, put together by Roger Taylor and Brian May, is a spectacular touring concert show designed to take the music and live experience of legendary rock band Queen and bring it to generations of fans. For further details head over to queenextravaganza.com.
Taylor himself hand picked the band members (vocalists Marc Martel and Jennifer Espinoza; guitarist Brian Gresh; drummer Tyler Warren; bassist Francois-Olivier Doyon; and keyboardist and musical director Brandon Ethridge) from thousands of auditionees during a unique online talent search with video submissions generating more than 10 million views from around the globe. Taylor says:
“The Queen Extravaganza is a brand new show specially designed to enable new fans, together with fans of old, to celebrate the music of Queen in a heart-stopping event. It’s very spectacular, and I think people will be truly shocked and amazed at the level of vocal and instrumental performance from these brilliant musicians! When Marc Martel sings it sounds as if Freddie has entered the room.”
The 90-minute show, which kicks off in Birmingham on 27 October and ends at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 6 November, features Queen’s classic hits and some surprises for the true fans. The production will be enhanced with rare video footage from Queen’s extensive archives and newly-created imagery.
