Il Volo recently received the Gold Creator Award, a recog- nition that YouTube attributes to channels that exceed one million members. After Morandi, Malta prepares to welcome Il Volo LONG Live The Queen, the Ulti- mate Queen Show, featuring Break Free which is considered one of the best Queen Tribute Bands in Eu- rope, will be presented on Friday 17 May at Ghaxaq Grounds. This is yet another in a series of great concerts organised by Ghax- aq Music Events and which have included Modern Talking, Winter Moods and the Pink Floyd Project. This show tries to offer an excit- ing experience recreating as faith- fully as possible a legendary Queen concert. Image and sound are continu- ally studied in detail to achieve this goal. Thanks to their experience in the international music scene, the Long Live the Queen show is greeted with enthusiasm all over Europe. They fill the squares and amaze thousands of viewers and boast many sold out concerts. The band's singer has been de- scribed by many fans as one the best Freddie Mercury after the leg- end itself and his live performanc- es prove it. He has meticulously analysed and embodied the body language of Freddie Mercury on stage, his vocal timbre, extension, accent, pronunciation and all that is nec- essary to create the illusion of seeing the legend on stage. The same applies to the rest of the band's members who recreate Queen's sound, movements and energy. The band's energy really honors Queen's best performances in their golden years, and modern equipment and technical know-how make this show extremely appealing to the mod- ern public. After the success of the film Bohe- mian Rhapsody Ghaxaq Music Events are keen to present this show which will include all greatest Queen releas- es including We Will Rock You, Bohe- mian Rhapsody, We are the Champi- ons, The Show Must Go On, and Love of my Life. As done in previous concerts the or- ganizers will ensure to create a mem- orable experience including various effects such as fireworks in the show. Parking areas near the venue will also be available. The event will also feature Vinyl Paradise and Airport impressions who will kick start the concert at 8pm. This Live concert will be hosted by Pierre Cordina. Entrance is completely free of charge and donations for Dar Bjorn will be collected at the door.
