Hits of Queen will come to cricket ground

A concert featuring the music of rock legends Queen will take place in Leicester this summer.

Organisers have announced the event will take place at Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s Grace Road ground on August 17.

It follows on from an Abba concert at the venue earlier this year.

In a statement released yesterday, the cricket club said: “A dazzling collection of performers from London’s West End, including former stars from the smash hit musical We Will Rock You, come together to present an incredible tribute to one of the world’s great rock bands.

“Featuring dozens of hits from an astonishing back catalogue, this is an amazing concert evening no Queen fan should miss.”

Tickets, which start at £24 are on sale now.

On-site car parking can be booked for £5.

Off-site car parking will also be available at the Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium for £5 on arrival.
