Queen will present the world premiere of their biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London on Tuesday, October 23.
The arena is next door to Wembley Stadium; opened in 2007, it sits on the same site occupied by the original venue – demolished in 2003 – where Queen delivered their iconic performance at the Live Aid concert in 1985.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher, the film stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury and follows Queen from their creation in 1970 through their rise to international stardom and the Live Aid appearance.
Joining the cast at the premiere will be Queen legends Brian May and Roger Taylor, while the event will raise funds to benefit the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the organization founded in Freddie’s name which supports HIV/AIDS initiatives globally.
“We’re delighted to be at The SSE Arena, Wembley giving Queen fans the chance to share in what is going to be a fantastic event,” says Twentieth Century Fox UK Managing Director Chris Green. “The venue is perfect for showcasing the show-stopping performances in the film.”
An exclusive pre-sale for Queenonline.com and the official Queen Fan Club in now underway, with general public tickets going on sale Wednesday, September 12 at 9am through ssearena.co.uk.
Any purchased tickets will be limited to a maximum of 6 per person, and the name of the lead booker will be printed on each ticket – the lead booker will be asked to present matching photo ID at the venue in order to gain entry. Tickets are strictly non-transferable, except through Twickets, the authorized fan-to-fan exchange partner.
While “Bohemian Rhapsody” will arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 2, Queen will release the companion soundtrack album on October 19; the project mixes classic live and studio tracks with previously unavailable performances from Live Aid.
