​The theatrical release also features a brand-new interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor, reflecting on the band’s unforgettable performance in Budapest and the lasting cultural impact of this landmark concert.

​Filmed on July 27, 1986, at Budapest’s Népstadion during the band’s ‘The Magic Tour’, Queen Budapest captures the band’s final filmed performance with Freddie Mercury at their live peak, just five shows before their final show. The film features hits such as We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure and Bohemian Rhapsody, along with an acoustic take on the traditional Hungarian folk song Tavaszi Szél Vizet Áraszt. The concert was a groundbreaking moment, as Queen became the first Western rock band to perform a stadium show behind the Iron Curtain during a period of profound cultural and political change. In addition to 80,000 tickets selling out, an estimated 45,000 people listened to the group outside, with some fans having travelled from as far away as Russia and Poland. The show was filmed on 35 mm film by Hungary’s best cameramen using 17 cameras and 25 miles of film. The Hungarian government approved the entire operation, which was a first for a Communist State.
