Queen Budapest Film to Screen Worldwide This October

Get ready, rock fans! The iconic film Queen Budapest, showcasing the legendary band’s last live performance with Freddie Mercury, is set to hit cinemas worldwide on October 7. This film captures the historic July 27, 1986 concert at Budapest’s Népstadion, marking the first Western stadium rock show behind the Iron Curtain.

Meticulously restored in 4K by Sir Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production, this screening promises the most immersive experience yet, featuring newly remixed audio from the original multitrack recordings. Fans can expect to relive the magic of Queen as they perform classics like We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, and a heartfelt rendition of the Hungarian folk song Tavaszi Szél Vizet Áraszt.

Brian May recalls the emotional significance of the concert, stating, “For years, fans behind the Iron Curtain had been able to listen to Queen music only on illegal cassettes. This concert was a huge emotional moment for them and for us.” Roger Taylor adds, “Music really can be a great cause,” emphasizing the band’s ethos of transcending political barriers.

Don’t miss this chance to experience Queen in their glory days. The film will also be accompanied by a multi-format package release on October 30, featuring a newly remixed soundtrack and various media formats.
