Queen have announced plans to mark the 40th anniversary of their iconic album 'A Night at the Opera' in Glasgow.

The Queen Extravaganza, created and produced by the band's legendary drummer Roger Taylor, will visit the Clyde Auditorium on November 5.

The 90-minute show, which is also produced by Brian May, will feature a band handpicked by Taylor and May performing the iconic album in full, plus a selection of Queen's classic hits. There will also be a few surprised for fans.

Roger Taylor said: "It's our own official tribute band.

"These guys are incredible gifted musicians in their own right and certainly aren’t just dressing up in costumes and pretending to be Queen. They actually play the music better than we ever did. Or, maybe ‘better’ isn’t the right word. But they play a more perfect version, with a more polished sound, whereas we always used to go off and play around with the music when we were in concert.

"We like to think of it as a rock celebration in the Royal tradition.

"I’m incredibly proud of these guys and it’s going to be a nostalgic and stunning night out for anyone who goes along."

The staging and production elements for the show, which has already played over 160 dates worldwide, were created by the late Mark Fisher.
