Freddie for a day
to
Sala Apolo c/ Nou de la Rambla 113, Barcelona
After the success of last year’s celebrations, Queen tribute band Momo teams up with Hard Rock Barcelona to pay tribute to the legendary Freddie Mercury once more. After Freddie tragically lost his life to AIDS in 1991, fellow band members set up the Mercury Phoenix Trust Foundation to raise awareness of AIDS and celebrate his life and legacy. Since its inception in 1992, the foundation has raised millions in its efforts to support the global fight against AIDS. On September 5th each year, it collaborates with Hard Rock Cafes across Europe to celebrate Freddie’s birthday, with waiters sporting emblematic black moustaches and participating in various fundraising activities. This year, Sala Apolo will host Momo as they play some classic Queen hits, including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Somebody to Love’, and ‘The Show Must Go On’. Lead singer Momo Cortés played Galileo in the Spanish adaptation of the successful musical ‘Queen: We Will Rock You’, astounding audiences with his bold voice. Brian May, Queen’s lead guitarist, selected Momo for the role, believing Freddie would have been impressed by his “cheeky quality and fearlessness”. Tickets for the charity concert are priced €13, €10 of which will be donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust Foundation.
