Friday Night Fever & Fireworks – Gibside – 8pm – Friday 18 July 2008
Part of Gibside's famous concert weekend, the North East’s favourite outdoor tribute night, features Queen and ABBA tribute groups Mercury and Voulez-Vous. This very popular event has sold out well in advance for the last six years.
After almost a decade on tour, Mercury is now established as one of the world’s most authentic tributes to Freddie Mercury and Queen. With a dynamic stage show that fully emulates the true charismatic appeal of rock’s most flamboyant front man backed up by superbly crafted harmonies and intricate guitar work, Mercury faithfully and accurately re-create the distinctive Queen experience.
Voulez-Vous are considered to be one of the best ABBA tribute acts around, recreating the unique sound of the famous Swedish pop sensations. Performing at Gibside for the eighth consecutive year, Voulez-Vous are back again with a show which is as fresh as ever.
With added capacity at this year’s event, tickets are still available.
Tickets: £32. Group rates also available.
