Organisers reveal plans for huge Queen concert in Leicester

A concert featuring the music of rock legends Queen will take place in Leicester next summer.

It follows on from an Abba concert at the venue earlier this year.

In a statement released this morning the cricket club said: "A dazzling collection of performers from London’s West End, including former stars from the smash hit musical ‘We Will Rock You’, come together to present an incredible tribute to one of the world’s great rock bands.

"Featuring dozens of hits from an astonishing back catalogue, this is an amazing concert evening no Queen fan should miss."

Tickets, which start at £24, go on sale from 10am today.

On-site car parking can be pre booked for £5.

Off-site car parking will also be available at the Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium for £5 on arrival.
