Line-up For Queen's Platinum Jubilee Includes Huge Music Stars

Not sure if the actual Queen will be there as she celebrates 70 years on the throne, but the musical group Queen definitely will be. That's just one of the many huge bands that will be playing at an upcoming soiree next month. I'm not a monarchist, but there's no doubt this is an impressive line-up fit for a -- well, you know. 

In addition to Queen, other players include Rod Stewart, Elton John, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, Nile Rodgers, Alicia Keys, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Julie Andrews, Stephen Fry, David Beckham and Sir Richard Attenborough - just to name a few. 

There's no word yet on whether any radio stations in Canada will pick-up this mega-concert, but it will be broadcast live on BBC Radio, which is available on the web and is generally not geoblocked.  It takes place on June 4th at Buckingham Palace.

Not saying they will, but this is the kind of thing you'd think CBC Radio 2 would carry.

Impressive group. But Queen without the Mercury man is like Great Britain without Queen Elizabeth.

I agree, but they have replacement front man Adam Lambert doing the lead vocals. Not that it's anywhere near the same thing as when Mercury was around.

Let's hope they don't dress Adam up in the robe and crown.
