Just read on Brianmay.com that the tour does not start in Moscow, but in fact it starts off with a Free concert in Kiev - Ukraine. Would have been good though if the tour Ended with a free concert at Wembley ;-) |
| Hitman 26.06.2008 19:44 |
i can't find this news on brianmay.com can anyone please shed some light? |
| A Word In Your Ear 26.06.2008 20:04 |
It's under the heading "Queen Return to Wembley" & the section says, something like this:- Queen + Paul Rodger’s Cosmos Rocks European tour BEGINS Mid-September With a FREE concert in KIEV. |
| Hitman 26.06.2008 20:07 |
ok i found the line thanks. but no date?! BRIAAAAAN be precise please i wonder the thoughts of who spent a fortune to get a ticket in Moscow thinking "i'm attending the very first gig..." any other detail, maybe on ukranian newspapers? |
| john bodega 27.06.2008 03:26 |
The whole tour should be free. |
| Tero 27.06.2008 04:45 |
How can the tour start with a Free concert or (FREE concert) if it's supposed to be a Q+PR tour? Or have they finally realised their mistake, and renamed the band Free+Bri&Rog? :P |
| Leus 27.06.2008 08:17 |
Yes it finally happened... |
| Hitman 27.06.2008 11:26 |
I'll attend it anyway who else is coming? fans from Ukrain here? |
| Leus 27.06.2008 12:38 |

Do You have more info about this concert? |

'Cause it isn't mentioned at the tourlist at queenonline and there hasn't been any news about it besides being mentioned at the Wembley announcement (which doesn't say anything anymore about the tour to start with the Kiev concert...) Does anybody has some news about it? |

It STILL mentions four arena concerts in the Nordic countries when they couldn't sell even one the last time around, and it STILL mentions a Swedish concert on an arena where the date is reserved for a hockey game. I would recommend very much against citing wikipedia pages as references. ;) |

And no offence, but it's kinda stupid to refer to that wikipedia page as if it is a reliable source. |

Don't worry guys concert in Kiev will take place in any case. I suppose that information about Kiev dissapeared on queenonline because ukrainian mass medias began to touch this topic yesterday. In Ukraine about Queen concert know a few people, organizer of the concert (local AntiAIDS foundation) wants to make a surprise for ukrainian people. |
| Tero 03.07.2008 16:33 |
Are they perhaps planning to make it such a big surprise that only the half dozen people from QZ will be in the audience, or do you think it will be advertised at some point? |
| Hankster 04.07.2008 03:54 |
Although it doesn't say everything, this is the reply I got from Jacky; "It seems that this concert is NOT happening now, it has been taken off of all the tour lists etc." She doesn't say that it wil certainly not take place, and she only refers to the tourlists instead of a statement from the band itself. But stil... |
| Dagmara 04.07.2008 17:09 |
Intresting. So I don't know where I will go Kiev or Latvia?! :[ |
| Hitman 05.07.2008 05:41 |
i'm still planning Kiev; Queenonline has no interest in supporting a free concert in my opinion. That concert in Amsterdam sponsored by the beer was announced the day before wasn't it? |
| Dagmara 05.07.2008 08:12 |
But if say A You must say B....... QP is announcing concert, and a few days the concert is disappearing. Very strange ?! |
| Leus 05.07.2008 09:32 |
They didn't announce anything yet. It was just mentioned about it in Queen return to Wembley section. Official announcement of this event is planned in August. |
| Dagmara 05.07.2008 09:34 |
In August...... too late to buy ticket for train and everything (hostel, ect.)...... |
| Hitman 05.07.2008 09:58 |
uhmmm nahh are you sure? i've traveled to moscow by train from my home town sanremo in autumn 2006 with a friend and we never experienced any problem finding places on trains and accomodation. Unless your group is huge... ...and i want to meet up with the polish fans!So i can proudly show my "Reczpospolita polska" tshirt i bought in Kracow ;) ok ok i'll also get a yellow and blue hat for the ukranian folks! the more we are, the better :P ehehe |
| Hankster 05.07.2008 10:18 |
"Officially not on the schedule. Jen" Officially, huh?...I think we indeed might expect a proper announcement later on :) |

Any news? :| |
| Leus 14.07.2008 04:30 |
No news is good news :) There are only rumours around this concert that maybe it will take place not in Kiev but in Kharkiv city. There is the biggest square in Europe. See it here: link link |
| Hankster 14.07.2008 08:47 |
Kharkiv? Damn, that's going to be too far away I'm afraid :( |
| Leus 14.07.2008 11:35 |
We have to wait official announcement, I still hope concert will be in Kiev |
| fanatic125 19.07.2008 20:17 |
If it's really in Kiev, where would it be? It could be Maidan Nezalezhnosti but with that new mall they built after my family left to America, there really isn't that much room there. Maybe Palats Ukraina? I have some family friends there who I just visited in May and I'd like to ask them to go and possibly record it. |
| Leus 24.08.2008 18:02 |
Official announcement of the concert in Ukraine is planned on August 27. |
| Leus 25.08.2008 16:39 |
Ukrainian fans create a poster for this historical event. You can find it here: link |
| Leus 27.08.2008 08:02 |
Concert will take place in Kharkiv city. It's official information |
