Queen Budapest, a historic 1986 concert filmed in Budapest, is being released in cinemas and IMAX for a limited run beginning in early October 2026, in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, marking the first Western stadium rock show behind the Iron Curtain and the band’s final filmed performance with Freddie Mercury.

The film features classic hits such as We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, and Bohemian Rhapsody, capturing a large audience presence of about 80,000 tickets sold with thousands more listening outside as fans traveled from across Europe and beyond.

To coincide with the concert’s 40th anniversary, Sony Music Vision will release the soundtrack across Blu-ray, DVD, CD, and a 3LP vinyl on October 30, with pre-orders available.

Readers are invited to read the full Classic Rock interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor for deeper insights.

The Features section outlines Queen alongside Greta Van Fleet, Manic Street Preachers, Dolly Parton, Anthrax, Pearl Jam, The Temperance Movement, and Little Angels, detailing the focus of each piece.

The piece provides background on Mercury’s views on rock, performance style, and the band’s approach to albums versus live shows, including information about Larry Lurex, their early 1970s side project.

Practical distribution details are given for UK and North American availability, with various digital and physical subscription options.
