“This year we have already had **150 concerts in 20** countries around the world. The one at Sono was our concert of the year, a sort of summarization. We wanted the audience to receive a unique experience, and it worked out. Two years ago we had a sold-out concert with the **Czechoslovak Chamber Orchestra Prague** and **the Children's Choir Brno** here. We wished to bring something new and with this in mind we designed a stage matching the one of **Queen** to complement the unique performance,” said **Michael Kluch**, the band's frontman.

The band **Queenie - world Queen tribute band** represents the absolute top of their genre. More than a **thousand spectators** could enjoy the proof thereof at the **sold-out Sono hall** in Brno. The band played a two-hour concert with thunderous unstoppable ovation from the audience. The show was further escalated with the song **Barcelona**, for which the **National Theater soloist Petra Alvarez** joined **Queenie** on stage. Then the fans asked for three more songs. **We Will Rock You, Friends Will Be Friends** and **We Are The Champions** were already sung in unison by the whole hall.

The concert had been sold out since the end of summer and because of the ongoing interest the band has decided to do two shows at **Sono** next year, on December 5th and 6th, 2019. In addition, **Queenie** will have concerts in other Czech cities and in many places abroad. Besides the spring and autumn **Scandinavian tour**, the band has accepted a **Central American tour** invitation that will begin on April 20, 2019 **in Costa Rica**, exactly 27 years since the commemorative concert honored **Freddie Mercury** in **Wembley**, London.

**Queenie** in this newly prepared **musical** was given **the main role**. **Michael Kluch** will perform as **Freddie** and the rest of the band will perform the rest of the **Queen**. It will be a completely **live musical accompaniment**, which is not always a matter of course on the Czech scene, and **Queenie** will take care of it. In this **unique theater show** will also perform by **Jiří Korn**, **Rudolf Hrušínský junior**, **Simona Postlerová** and other leading musical actors.

**Michael** is already performing in another performance about **Freddie Mercury**. This is the dance musical **Freddie: The King of Queen**, written by **Libor Vaculík** with **Václav Kopta** and **Petr Malásek**. It is presented in **the Theater J.K.Tyl** in **Pilsen** and **Michael** also performs the role of **Mercury**. But the new production of **Karel Janák** is conceived as a musical performance with all the elements that belong to the **musical**.

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**
