The 10th Annual FREDDIE MERCURY Montreux Memorial Day event is scheduled to take place this year from August 31st - September 2nd in Switzerland. The complete program for the event is now online at this location

Billboard.com's Gary Graff recently reported:

Though every deceased body and their mother have been deemed fair game for "holographic" treatment since TUPAC SHAKUR's surprise "appearance" at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, QUEEN's Roger Taylor says he'll never play alongside any similar image of the late Freddie Mercury.

"I don't think I want to," Taylor told Billboard.com during a conference call with reporters to promote The Queen Extravaganza road show, which launches its eight-week run on May 26th in Quebec City. "Were somebody (else) to use a hologram of Freddie, I would have no objection... It just doesn't sit too well with me. I don't want to appear with a hologram of my dear friend. It's the real one or no hologram for me. But I think it's an amazing effect when used properly - obviously in darkness."

Taylor added that he and guitarist Brian May considered a Mercury hologram/projection for the musical We Will Rock You before deciding against it and also pointed out that the Tupac at Coachella was not strictly a hologram but rather "a two-dimensional thing. It gives the appearance of being a hologram. It's an illusion in the true sense."

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT have announced another show, on July 7th in Wroclaw, Poland.

A press release states: Queen and Adam Lambert have announced a further European concert together as part of dates they will play this summer. The latest date added is July 7th, when Queen, joined by Lambert, will perform as the headliner of a new festival, Rock In Wroclaw, Poland, appearing at the city’s Municipal Stadium as one of only a handful of concerts Queen and Lambert will perform in Europe this summer.

Following on from their concert at Moscow Sports Arena on July 3rd, this Poland performance will be among the very first shows Queen and Lambert play together. They then go on to play London’s HMV Apollo Hammersmith July 11th and 12th.
