Queen concert chronology |
The Magic Tour was a European concert tour by the British rock band Queen in 1986. The tour was in support of their latest album, A Kind of Magic, and featured 26 shows across Western Europe. In addition, the band performed one show behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary.
The highlight of the tour was the two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium on 11–12 July. Both concerts were professionally filmed. The second show was released as Queen at Wembley. The final show of the tour, held at Knebworth on 9 August in front of at least 120,000 fans, marked a significant moment in the band's history. It was also the last time lead singer Freddie Mercury performed live with Queen before his death five years later.
