Tänä vuonna tulee 80 vuotta yhden rock-historian suurimman keulakuvan ja lauluntekijän, Freddie Mercuryn syntymästä. Karismaattisen esiintyjän Queen-yhtye on kiistatta maailmanlaajuisesti arvostetuimpia bändejä, jonka perintö elää edelleen voimakkaana. Suomalainen The Miracle - A night with Queen -tribuutti-yhtye on tehnyt menestyksekkäitä konserttikiertueita jo vuosia ympäri Suomen. Tulevalla kiertueella keskitytään Freddie Mercuryn upeimpiin laulusuorituksiin ja tyylikkäimpiin Queen-klassikoihin, suurimpia hittejä unohtamatta. Tämä kiertue on kunnianosoitus artistille, jonka ääni, karisma ja rajaton luovuus muuttivat rockin historiaa pysyvästi. Settilista on koottu koko Queenin uran varrelta. Yhtye oli tuttu siitä, että se hyppi nerokkaasti musiikkityylistä toiseen. The Miracle tuo lavalle rockia, hempeitä balladeja, pirteää jazzia ja suuria sinfonisia hittejä. Kuka tietää, josko juhlavuoden kunniaksi hypätään myös Freddie Mercuryn soolo-tuotannon puolelle! Tervetuloa mukaan juhlimaan Queen-musiikkia, Freddie Mercuryä ja rockin ikiaikaisuutta! Konsertissa on numeroidut istumapaikat ja se on sallittu kaikenikäisille. Illan aikataulu: 18 Cafe Bar Luola auki 19 Showtime Kesto n. 2h sis. väliajan
