Queen\u2019s Brian May has given fans a preview of the planned reissue of\u00a0the band’s sophomore album, Queen II.<\/p>\n
In a new video posted to Instagram<\/a>, May\u00a0gives fans a peek inside Abbey Road Studios, where he\u2019s working on the project. He shared what he called a \u201cwork-in-progress Dolby Atmos (surround) rebuild of PROCESSION,\u201d which is the album\u2019s opening track.<\/p>\n “I’m inviting you in because I want you to be as excited as I am when this becomes available for streaming very soon, and when the Dolby Atmos Blue-Ray (sic) comes out !!!” May writes. “It will sound about 50 times better than this!”<\/p>\n He notes that once they are finished with the Dolby upgrade, listeners “will be effectively sitting inside the guitar ‘orchestra,'” adding it will be “QUEEN II – like you never heard it before.”<\/p>\n May previously teased the upcoming Queen II box set with a video on Instagram<\/a> noting that he was about to film an unboxing video for what he called the \u201crebuild\u201d of the album. May\u00a0first hinted that he was working\u00a0on the project back in August, posting\u00a0a video<\/a> of him tinkering in the studio\u00a0with the song “Funny How Love Is.”<\/p>\n The Queen II reissue follows the band’s\u00a0June 2025 reissue of their self-titled debut album, which featured a remixed and remastered version of the album, which they renamed Queen I. It included the album on Dolby Atmos for the first time, along with plenty of bonus material.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2026, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.<\/p>\n
