THE Queen Extravaganza returns to the UK to play a special tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band's iconic album, ‘A Night At The Opera’.

Long viewed as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, the album produced such classic tracks as, ‘You’re My Best Friend’, “Love of My Life”, Taylor’s own “I’m In Love With My Car”, as well as the band’s legendary “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

The 90-minute show, features Queen’s classic hits and some surprises for the true fans, and is coming to the York Barbican on Thursday, November 10.

Produced by Roger Taylor with fellow Queen band member Brian May, the Queen Extravaganza is specially designed to enable new fans, together with fans of old, to celebrate the band's music.

The show has already played over 160 dates across the world and made appearances on TV on shows such as American Idol where the performance was seen by over 20 million people.

Roger said: “It’s our own official tribute band “These guys are incredible gifted musicians in their own right and certainly aren’t just dressing up in costumes and pretending to be Queen.

"They actually play the music better than we ever did. Or, maybe ‘better’ isn’t the right word. But they play a more perfect version, with a more polished sound, whereas we always used to go off and play around with the music when we were in concert. I’m incredibly proud of these guys and it’s going to be a nostalgic and stunning night out for anyone who goes along.”

Tickets are available by phoning 0844 854 2757 or visiting the box office in person.
