Queen Budapest is the final filmed concert from Queen, capturing the English rock legends’ concert on July 27, 1986, at Népstadion as part of the group’s The Magic Tour.
In addition to being the final filmed concert from Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, it took place five shows before their final live performance together — giving this particular show a special gravity.
It’s been revisited in recognition of the concert’s 40th anniversary.
As a preview, watch “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” from the show above, and a trailer below.

Some more about the filmed aspect of the show, per a news release:
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.
Queen Budapest has been restored in 4K from the original filmed 35mm for a global theatrical release from Trafalgar, screening in standard and IMAX screens around the world — click here for ticket information.
