CARLISLE’S cinema will rock Botchergate on World Aids Day with a screening of a charity concert featuring supergroup, Queen.
Vue Entertainment are giving fans the chance to see the one-off concert featuring Queen and singer Paul Rodgers in support of an Aids foundation. Let The Cosmos Rock will be screened on Monday, December 1 for one night only.
Queen and Paul Rodgers, who sings in place of Freddie Mercury who died in 1991, made a trip to the Ukraine in September to play a free concert in Kharkov for The Elena Franchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation.
The live performance drew a record audience of 350,000 people and was captured for the big screen by award-winning film-maker David Mallet. He said: “The big screen setting is an ideal medium in which to feel a sense of participation in the Kharkov event. This was by far the biggest show of its kind ever staged. The equipment needed two Antonov 124 aircraft – the world’s biggest cargo planes – to get it into the Ukraine, and it is almost impossible to imagine the scale of it once it was built.”
Tickets for Vue cinema screenings can be bought from www.myvue.com by calling 08712 240 240, or directly from cinemas.
