The creative team and the Las Vegas cast of the smash London stage show “We Will Rock You” will be on hand Wednesday, June 23 at 11 a.m. PDT to announce details of the Las Vegas production set to open in August at Paris Las Vegas.

True to the rock spectacle for which Queen is renowned, the press event will feature visually exciting rock concert theatrics, and will be open to the public.

“We Will Rock You,” features 20 of Queen’s greatest hits performed in a rock theatrical stage show. The show debuted in London in 2002, where it continues to play to sold-out crowds and is a hit in Australia and Spain, where the show also recently opened. The Las Vegas production is the North American premiere of “We Will Rock You” and is presented by Tribeca Theatrical Productions co-founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor and Phil McIntyre Entertainment in association with Paris Las Vegas.
