Queen Extravaganza Announces European Tour Starting In May

Saw this hadn't been mentioned yet, figured some of our fellow European Queenzoners might be interested! :-) http://www.queenextravaganza.com/news/ http://www.brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennewsfeb14b.html#34 [QUOTE]THE QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR STARTING IN MAY THE OFFICIAL QUEEN TRIBUTE SHOW PRODUCED BY QUEEN DRUMMER ROGER TAYLOR CELEBRATES THE BAND’S GLORIOUS MUSIC & LIVE EXPERIENCE Following the resounding success of the recent UK and North American tours, The Queen Extravaganza will perform in select European cities starting in May 2014. The Queen Extravaganza is a spectacular touring concert show designed to take the glorious music and live experience of legendary rock band Queen and bring it to generations of fans. Two of Queen’s original band mates and songwriters— iconic drummer Roger Taylor and legendary guitarist Brian May—are the masterminds behind The Queen Extravaganza. “The Queen Extravaganza is a brand new show specially designed to enable new fans, together with fans of old, to celebrate the music of Queen in a heart-stopping event, says Taylor. “It’s very spectacular, it’s very visual, there are going to be some shocks and some tremendous surprises. It will be a rock celebration in the Royal tradition.” Taylor personally has taken on the role of producer with long time Queen keyboardist Spike Edney as global music director. Together Taylor and Edney have created the ultimate Queen concert experience in an electrifying road show, which celebrates the band’s music and legacy as performed by a new generation of musical talent. The Queen Extravaganza band includes musicians selected by Taylor in a unique online talent search that culminated with the group’s performance on American Idol in 2012. The band is: vocalist Marc Martel; guitarist Nick Radcliffe; drummer Tyler Warren; bassist Francois-Olivier Doyon; and keyboardist and musical director Brandon Ethridge. "This band is now so frighteningly good, I would hate to have to follow them on stage," explains Taylor. The 90-minute show features more than 20 Queen classics drawn from the band’s biggest hits: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Under Pressure,” “We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions,” “A Kind of Magic,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Killer Queen” as well as other fan favorites. The production will be enhanced visually with rare video footage from Queen’s extensive archives and also newly-created imagery.

No shame.

How awesome is this.... Should I go to one or two concerts?

Thank you very much for bringing this up!

As they come to my hometown I will get tickets.

What a shame than another Topic has turned into a place where People just argue with each other for nothing...

Agreed

Has Brian Gresh left the band?

'"This band is now so frighteningly good, I would hate to have to follow them on stage," explains Taylor'

Roger; the only person in QE you haven't got an answer for is Martel. Just use him, and you won't have to worry about following anyone.

I swear Brian and Roger are tied up in the most arbitrary illogic to be going the way they're going.

I wondered the same thing, and came on here to see if there was any news. Anyone know who Nick Radcliffe is?

They could've called me... ;-)

Haven't heard anything official yet but a fan commented on the official QE Facebook page that Brian Gresh's wife is expecting so he is skipping this tour.

Jennifer Espinoza is not listed as a band member either. No idea if she is just missing this tour like Brian or of they have shrunk the band again.

I think Nick Radcliffe is from WWRY.

Well, I am not the greatest fan of tribute shows but this time I will give it a try.

The sad thing here is that a proper news didn`t get much respect from the QZ users...
