This includes a total of **14 open-air concerts**, starting on 15 July in Pilsen and ending on 26 August at the Loket Amphitheatre. In addition to the traditional stops, the band will also visit new locations. 

Audiences can look forward to precisely played and sung hits of the British **Queen in original arrangements and keys**, which the band, led by singer **Michael Kluch**, prides itself on. For this year's tour, the band will be performing several new songs, including **Spread Your Wings** and **Death On Two Legs**, and a bonus for fans will be **Michael Kluch's** first original solo track, **Let Me**, co-written with musician **Michael Skorepa**. 

The author of the tour's stage design is **Martin Hruška**, who is also responsible for the set design of the **Queenie concerts at the O2 arena**. "It is a multi-storey variable stage dominated by two lighting blocks with hundreds of differently programmable light sources and a tilting, adjustable staircase. In short, we're going to have another good run around the stage. Our ambition is to put on a show worthy of a stadium band, albeit in more cosy surroundings," reveals frontman **Michael Kluch**. 

The audience will be taken care of at the tour concerts from the moment they enter the venue, even before the first notes are heard from the stage. "We'll get them in the mood as soon as they arrive, for example by having themed catering based on the favourite foods or ingredients of **Freddie Mercury** and other members of **Queen**. Our intention is to deliver a more holistic experience than is common at concerts," Kluch explains. "The word "universum" has a beautiful Czech equivalent, "veškerenstvo". We are all part of everything, the energy has to flow and we will do everything we can to keep the audience in a good mood for days after our performance."

The opening act will be [Světlo](https://kapelasvetlo.cz), a band from Havířov.

We can't tell you how happy we are that after a year and a half, we and you will finally get to see the concerts! What's more, the O2 arena will open its doors with our concerts.

**The tickets from 15/05/2020 (respectively from 11/09/2020) are valid for the date 03/09/2021**

**The tickets from 16/05/2020 (respectively from 12/09/2020) are valid for the date 04/09/2021**

**The tickets from 21/12/2020 are valid for the date 05/09/2021**

According to the latest regulations, the organisers of cultural events have the opportunity to completely fill the audience capacity. Of course, subject to certain measures, which you already know and have worked within our UNIVERSUM Tour - these will not change: 

- maximum 7 days old PCR test with negative result

- a maximum 72-hour old antigen test with a negative result

- a certificate or written confirmation of covid-19 vaccination provided that at least 14 days have passed since the completion of the vaccination schedule

- laboratory confirmation of the presence of covid-19 disease within the past 180 days

As far as the 50% vaccinated to tested ratio is concerned, you don't have to worry about not getting into the concert. The overall capacity of the hall has a large reserve for these ratios and all audience members who have purchased or have yet to purchase a ticket will be able to fit into the concerts.

So find your tickets and get there. And if you don't have a ticket yet, buy one and come too.

**THE SHOW MUST GO ON!**

**They promise a show unparalleled in the entire Czech online environment.Queenie have chosen a rather fitting name for this occasion: The Show Must Go Home; a slightly altered version of the name of the song The Show Must Go On written  by  Freddie  Mercury  and  Queen.  It  is  this  legendary  British  band  that Queenie pays tribute to with their concert shows and whose music they share with younger generations.**

The  online  show  is  being  prepared  in  reaction  to  the  inquiries  of  fans  missing  live culture. _"We have been living under strict restrictions for an entire year, and the end is still nowhere in sight. It is not only our favourite meeting places that are getting covered in dust, but also our souls. This is why we have heard the pleas of our fans and would thus like to add a spark of colour to their current grey daily routines,"_ says Queenie frontman Michael Kluch about the circumstances of the online concert, and he adds: _"The show must go on. And we want to make something very clear –life goes on, too! We still have a lot to look forward to, to live for. This is how we see it, anyway. We would like to support those who have given into sadness and exhaustion."_ At the same time, Queenie are very much aware of the non-transferability of a live concert and the atmosphere  of  small  clubs  as  well  as  big  arenas  into  a  home  environment.  For this reason, the band has decided to approach the show differently and to offer their fans an experience they are not likely to get at a normal live concert.

**On Stage and Backstage**


It is not Queenie’s intention to hold a common musical stream consisting of a playlist only. TheShow Must Go Home offers an original approach to online concert-making that will transfer the spectator directly onto the stage. _"We have decided to build a part of  our  stage  from  our  future  Queen  Relived  show  for  one  evening  and  to  create  an online show with a spectacular visual stage set,"_ says Michael Kluch, and he continues: _"Those of you who had purchased a ticket to one of the O2 Arena concerts, fear not! This  concert  is  going  to  be  quite  different. We are  about  to  experience  a  different playlist, different costumes, different surprises. We are simply going to make use of a part of our stage in order to perform our vision of a 21st-century concert experience –albeit in an online form.”_

The online environment may not provide the spectators with a live concert atmosphere; it will, nevertheless, allow them to imagine themselves on the stage as if during a live concert, and to enjoy Queenie as if the band played in their homes. In order to achieve this impression, we employ twelve cameras shooting the stage and the band members from all angles, as well as from a bird’s eye view. Apart from Queen’sfamous songs performed in original arrangements and keys, the spectators will also enjoy a tour of the backstage that is commonly unavailable to the public. They will get a unique chance to take a peek at the preparations for the show. They will be able to view the entire stage  and  its  construction  process.  They  will  get  to  know  the  crew  who  handle everything,  and  observe  sound  and  lighting  technicians  during  their  work.  And,  of course, they will be allowed to take a sneak peek at the band’s changing room.

_"**The Show Must Go Home** will be unique in all aspects. I would venture to say that in the  Czech  online  environment,  a  similar  show  is  a  completely  unprecedented occurrence. The stage on which we will play is larger than normal live concerts. Despite the fact that it isan online streaming event, we want to be completely authentic and perfect to a tee –as  if  it  were  a  live  concert.  As  usual,  no  detail  is  too  small,  we  try  to  exceed  the already   high   standards,"_ says   Michael   Kluch   on   the   promised   extraordinary experience.

Experience it all without the need to leave the comfort and safety of your home. Put simply: **The Show Must Go Home!**

We could make another boring merch line with the band's logo on the chest printed over the cheapest textile on the market. But we said NO! Our goal was to create a **distinctive design** for clothes that you would be able to put on not only for a concert, thus supporting its great atmosphere, but also as a stylish piece for everyday wear.

This is reflected in the **first edition**, for which we have created a unique and original design based on **the iconic colors: yellow and white.**

All T-shirts are made of **100% organic** cotton of the Stanley/Stella brand in **fair wear** workshops (cloth bags are made of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled polyester). Everything is **screen-printed by hand** thanks to raster graphics, and the multi-colored motifs can also create an optical illusion, for example when viewed through a mobile phone camera.

We have decorated our T-shirts, tank tops and cloth bags with the letter „Q“ labels woven with a golden glittering thread. Moreover, none of the merch is packed in plastic bags – we use **paper boxes** for sale. Our **new logo** is also included.

Together with the merch, we have also created a beautiful **eye-catching stand**, which you will find at **Queenie‘s concerts** and at which you will be able to buy clothes and other accessories.

By the way, have you tasted our beer yet?

**Everything is available at the new E-Shop: [shop.queenie.cz](https://shop.queenie.cz)**

**Up until now, despite the complicated limitations related to the coronavirus, things looked very promising. But after all, the producer, organizing team and representatives of the arena were forced to cancel these shows in both September and December! We have agreed with O2 Arena that the new dates for all three concerts will be set in exactly one year from today, namely on September 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2021.**)

In the past weeks, we have had numerous and very demanding meetings with the representatives of O2 Arena, the Chief Hygienist of the Czech Republic and the Prime Minister. After the presentation of detailed safety measures, everyone was willing to allow this absolutely unique show, which had already had to be rescheduled from spring, to happen this time. Thanks to the fact that the arena offers spacious premises, many entrances and separated sectors, 44-meter high ceilings and air conditioning system with the option of use without the internal circuit, we were able to propose a really safe way of organizing our performances.

The approved security measures regarding separation of the audience into sectors for up to 400 people, providing proper entrances and separating them from the staff allowed us to achieve the required attendance. But unlike at other events, there can be no standing audience during a music production. _"We have 5000 people with standing-room tickets in two days and we do not want to disappoint them. We would have to arrange seats right in the floor area for 3000 of them, move some into different seated sections and send the rest home, and we really cannot do that. It would not be ethical, and neither would be seating the audience in the first rows in front of the 2-meter high stage, not to mention that a large part of our show would take place on the bridges in the center of the hall – that is, behind them. Even the compromise suggestion of dividing the standing audience into six separate groups, with a separate entrance into the hall and to the respective area for each group, did not pass. We really can't accept the option without the standing part of the audience. As even after Tuesday's meeting of the Security Council nor after the the Prime Minister’s intercession we were not allowed to have at least part of the audience in the standing section, we, together with the O2 Arena representatives, have decided to postpone the concerts to the aforementioned new dates,"_ explains Michael Kluch, the frontman of Queenie.

**Holders of tickets for May 15th, 2020 (September 11th, 2020) will enjoy the premiere of the show on September 3rd, 2021, holders of tickets for May 16th, 2020 (September 12th, 2020) will see the concert on September 4th, 2021 and holders of tickets for December 21st, 2020 will come to the show on September 5th, 2021.**

_"We kindly ask the audience to understand the situation, which we are not to blame for, and to remain tolerant. All other detailed information will be published on FB, IG and the website www.queenie.cz, as well as on the website of O2 Arena. Thank you for your patience and support, which we greatly appreciate, and thank you also for all the positive feedback. It means a lot to us,"_ add the frontman Michael Kluch and the band Queenie, producer Martin Zoubek, and the team of O2 Arena.

The idea of brewing **Queenie beer** was born back in 2016 in the mind of the owner of the [Panaczech brewery](https://www.facebook.com/pivovarpanaczech), **Mr. Ondřej Vrkoč**, when he attended the band's concert at the Krkonoše Beer Festival in Vrchlabí.

_"How about we take our and English malts, hops and yeasts, choose the best of what both our countries offer and create a perfect symbiosis for a unique taste experience?"_

Oh, good old England. We have been looking at its distant shores for centuries, and yet we hardly realize how much we actually have in common. We laugh at quite similar things, we make fun of religion, we are close in our music tastes and culture in general, and especially: both our nations are, quite unsurprisingly, considered beer-loving nations. Could that perhaps be an example of the imaginary communicating vessels?

The idea of uniting what makes our beer good with what our fellow beer enthusiasts on the other side of the channel enjoy has **matured over several years**. During this time, the vision of the recipe has been becoming increasingly clear. The core part, based on **the English types of beer**, would be enriched with the **Czech tradition of beer brewing** and **the heart of the music itself**, to make it feel as if the **legendary rhythms** which pulsated across the world stadiums were **bubbling on the tongue**.

Based on discussions with the band, the head brewmaster of **the Panaczech brewery**, **Mr. David Nedoma**, created the recipe for **Queenie beer**, which includes factors from both England and the Czech Republic so as to perfectly capture, figuratively saying, the flavour scene of the English legend's music as performed by our Czech band.

The result thereof is our **ten-degree beer** with Pilsner yeast, Žatec hops, English malts and a royal golden color.

**In short, good old England spiced up with good old Czechia!**

Now also available at our [E-Shop](https://shop.queenie.cz).

**Cheers!**

It is not "just another concert" for us. It is a return to our roots and, at the same time, a confirmation of the journey we have taken over these twenty years. Memories of 2008 come back to us, when we had the honour of performing at the then Mercury Montreux Memorial as the historically first tribute band from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Back then, we were at the beginning, full of determination and dreams. Today, we return as experienced professionals with seven sold-out O2 arenas, tours across Europe, and more than 1,400 concerts under our belts. Yet, as we approach the shores of the lake and see those familiar Alpine peaks, we feel the same flutter in our stomachs as we did back then. It is respect. Respect for the music that connects us all, and for the place where Freddie found his second home.

**The Magic of a Place Where Time Stands Still**

Imagine this: You are standing on the waterfront, the majestic peaks of the Alps towering above you, and before you stretches the calm surface of the lake that once provided peace to the soul of **Freddie Mercury** himself. It was here, in this picturesque corner of the world, that the **Queen** frontman found his sanctuary in the final years of his life. This is where the albums Jazz or Made in Heaven were created in the famous Mountain Studios. And this is where his iconic bronze statue stands with its fist raised to the sky, silently watching over this magical place.

Performing at Freddie Days is specific in its atmosphere. The audience here does not consist of random passers-by, but the most loyal "die-hard" fans from all over the world – from Japan to Brazil to the UK. When we performed here in the past, for example at the **Montreux Jazz Festival** or during previous editions of the **Mercury Montreux Memorial**, we felt that indescribable energy. Playing for such an audience is the hardest, yet most beautiful test. These spectators know every note, every beat of **Roger Taylor's** cymbal, every guitar solo by **Brian May**. And that is exactly why we are going there. Our philosophy of "concert theatre," our insistence on original keys and authentic arrangements, finds its most appreciative audience in Montreux. When **Michael Kluch**, whose vocal abilities and performance were even honoured with a Thalia Award nomination, hits the first notes of **Bohemian Rhapsody** or **The Show Must Go On** in an environment where these songs resonate more strongly than anywhere else in the world, a magical connection is born. It is not playing at being Queen; it is a tribute to Queen in its purest possible form.

**Queenie's Concert Theatre on the World Stage**

Why do we speak of it so poetically? Because performing in Montreux is not just "another tour stop." It is like visiting someone's home. The invitation to **Freddie Days** is, for us, a confirmation that the path we set out on back in 2006 makes sense. We are often asked what the difference is between a concert in the O2 arena and a performance in Montreux. In the O2 arena, we create a monumental show with pyrotechnics and giant screens – it is a celebration of Queen's magnitude. In Montreux, however, it is about intimacy and a spiritual connection. It is a dialogue between us, the audience, and the legacy of **Freddie Mercury**.

To be chosen as the main musical program for such a significant event is a huge success for a Czech band. It is no secret that the organisers in Montreux are extremely demanding when it comes to quality. Because in Montreux, you don't just play for the ears; you play for the heart. And for us, it truly is a matter of the heart, because it is a place where we feel part of something bigger.

**September 4, 2026**

If you are planning a trip to Switzerland, do not miss this event. It is not just a concert. It is a family gathering. A family united by a love for music that changed the world. And if you can't make it to Montreux, follow our social media. We will bring you photos and videos so you can soak up the atmosphere, at least from afar.

We look forward to seeing you, whether beneath the Alps or at any of our other concerts.

Yours, **Queenie**
