Queen & Peter Kay Live

• 9th Jun 2005

Britain's best loved comic, Peter Kay is to appear as the band's special guest when Queen & Paul Rodgers perform in Hyde Park on Friday July 8.

At face value it's an unlikely alliance: regal rockers Queen and popular-vote comedian Peter Kay. But for the third time in as many months, Kay and Queen are to appear together again.

First there was Kay's now famous 'Amarillo' video for Comic Relief which saw Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor join Kay in a jog down the Mall. Next, Kay delighted 16,000 Queen fans when he and Max and Paddy co-star Patrick McGuinness made an impromptu stage appearance during the Queen + Paul Rodgers Manchester Arena concert earlier this month.

Now it has been announced that Kay is joining up with Queen for the band's massive outdoor London concert this summer. Kay will bring his unique brand of live performance to a concert bill which also includes band of the moment, Razorlight.

Details:
