The legend lives on!
After almost a decade on tour, Mercury is now established as one of the world’s most authentic tributes to Freddie Mercury and Queen.
With a dynamic stage show that fully emulates the true charismatic appeal of rock’s most flamboyant front man, backed up by superbly crafted harmonies and intricate guitar work, Mercury faithfully and accurately recreate the distinctive Queen experience.
On Saturday November 10th, The Academy Basingstoke, in Worting Road , plays host to Mercury supported by DJ Ivan Axford who will take the show through to 2am with his distinctive disco show.
Mercury's first gig was played in humble surroundings at the George and Dragon pub in Derbyshire on 19th February 1999. Tolo Pomar of Romantic Corporation in Spain was in England searching for a Queen Tribute Act to play a summer season in Mallorca - so in stepped Mercury.
Mercury were catapulted into the limelight and won "Best show in Spain Award 1999", returning to Mallorca for two further seasons gaining hundreds of loyal fans who now follow them across the UK.Mercury's performances have been televised live from Holland to Hungary . A New Year's Eve concert in Dubai was broadcast live by MTV Asia to millions of homes. But perhaps Mercury's most memorable moment was being invited to perform a live gig for Roger Taylor and his friends.
Today, Mercury are enjoying success worldwide, filling large venues and leaving audiences feeling fully entertained by the kind of show Queen themselves would have been proud to deliver.
Tickets for 10th November are available priced £10 on-line at http://www.academyclubs.com/ or over the counter at the venue. Further details may be obtained by telephoning 01256 327273.
