'Bohemian Rhapsody' to premiere at London's Wembley Arena on October 23

The Queen biopic will premiere at the same venue that was host to the band's stellar 1985 Live Aid performance in London.
PUBLISHED SEP 10, 2018

One of Queen’s most iconic performances was the band’s 1985 Live Aid performance at the Wembley Stadium in front of a capacity crowd of 72,000 fans. So it’s only fitting that 'Bohemian Rhapsody', the big-screen biopic of the band, is to have its world premiere at the famous London venue.

 

According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Twentieth Century Fox has revealed that the film, which stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, will have its world premiere at The SSE Wembley Arena in London on October 23. Given that Queen's stellar 1985 performance was beamed live to 1.5 billion people around the world from the Wembley Stadium right next door, a more apt location would be hard to find.
