A Night of Queen By the Bohemians

JAN. 18, 7:30 P.M.
FRITZ-WUNDERLICH-HALLE, KUSEL

With “The Bohemians,” one of Europe’s best Queen tribute bands takes the stage. The four musicians from Great Britain take their audience on a musical journey through time for nearly two hours with their show “A Night Of Queen.”

They invite you to a huge Queen live party, because that’s exactly what the band’s performances regularly become on both sides of the Channel. By the second song, singer Rob Comber, alias Freddie Mercury, has the audience in the palm of his hand. From then on, young and old alike enjoy the spectacular show for almost two hours, side by side, a show that doesn’t miss any of Queen’s immortal hits. Mercury’s unmistakable voice and stage presence are unique in rock history.

“The Bohemians” prove to be the most dynamic and exciting Queen tribute band currently on tour. Acoustically and visually, you truly believe you’re experiencing Queen live on stage. Numerous authentic costumes and props complete the illusion. Tickets available at 06381 424-496, www. ticket-regional.de and www.reservix.de
