Mercury

For over a quarter century, Mercury has risen to the top, achieving premier status as the authentic Freddie Mercury and Queen Production to see in 2025. This award-winning and fully revitalised stage production will take audiences on a rapturous ride through timeless tunes with faithfully accurate portrayals and performances of the legendary QUEEN. Playing the world’s most flamboyant frontman, Joseph Lee Jackson brings the heat with incredible charisma and the extraordinary vocal range required to pay proper tribute to the great Freddie Mercury. Joseph says: “It is an absolute honour to perform as Freddie and we are delighted that Freddie’s family see us as an authentic Queen tribute.” Backed by the trademark stack of Vox AC30s, Glenn Scrimshaw coaxes the iconic rocking riffs, channelling the melodic genius of Brian May in distinctive style. The band provides impossibly tight harmonies and venue-moving beats for an unforgettable night of music. All the hits are here including the most popular Queen tunes such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You and many more. This state-of-the-art production will captivate die-hard Queen fans who were there the first time around and new generations of rock fans alike.
