Queen and Freddie Mercury tribute act The Freddie & Queen Experience, fronted by Ian as Freddie Mercury, plays The Continental.
The Freddie & Queen Experience are playing The Continental on Friday 26 February, from 20:00 to 23:00. They're a five-piece live band that bills itself as the UK's premier Queen and Freddie Mercury tribute act, and they've picked up international critical acclaim along the way.
Ian takes on the role of Freddie Mercury, replicating his looks, mannerisms, vocals, charisma, passion and high-energy showmanship. The rest of the five-piece band play in replica outfits and use replica instruments, so the whole stage is set up to look the part. The show is built around Queen's 1986 Magic Tour and runs through a string of the band's greatest hits, with Andy Wills on guitar as Brian May.
It's a full-band setup rather than a smaller ensemble, and the set follows the Magic Tour's route through the hits. The focus is on the live performance, with Ian leading the front and the band backing him in the costumes and gear that match the era they're recreating. If you've spent any time with the Magic Tour recordings, that's the kind of set you can expect here.
