Queen: Budapest

97 min · Cert 12A

An incredible forty years ago this year, on 27th July 1986, Queen performed the largest-ever stadium concert at the Népstadion in Budapest in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans. Hungary was at that point still behind the Iron Curtain.

The concert was part of the famed Magic Tour, which was the last time the band toured with lead singer Freddie Mercury.

Now, this original concert film has been beautifully rescanned and remastered in 4K alongside a dynamic new audio mix, featuring many of Queen's favorite tracks including: Bohemian Rhapsody Crazy Little Thing Called Love I Want To Break Free We Are The Champions With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the first Western rock concert performed in a stadium behind the Iron Curtain. It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top film cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity, and hence for our entertainment today.
