THE smash hit Queen and Ben Elton musical, We Will Rock You, is set to roll into town for a six night run.

Tickets are now on sale for the show - but you will have to be patient as it doesn’t arrive at Bournemouth until May 2020.

Featuring 24 of Queen’s biggest hits and Ben Elton’s futuristic comedy writing, the show has become a global phenomenon.

The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown.

The announcement of the We Will Rock You UK & Ireland tour follows hot on the heels of the release of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. The film, celebrating the career of one of the greatest ever rock bands has wowed Queen fans all around the world, opening at the number one box office position in over 30 countries.

The show features Queen’s classic hits, including We Are The Champions, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Don’t Stop Me Now, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and, of course, We Will Rock You.

The show is at Bournemouth Pavilion from May 18-23, 2020. Tickets cost from £19/£37.50. To book, call 0844 576 3000 or visit bhlivetickets.co.uk
