SATURDAY

It’s a tough ask to be able to recreate the unique sounds of such an iconic band, but Mercury do it excellently, with leadman Joseph Lee Jackson performing with as much energy and passion as the late Freddie Mercury. Freddy Mercury’s mom, Jer Bulsara, once said, ‘Mercury are the next best thing to the original Queen line-up. Don’t miss it!’.

From world-renowned choirs to Classic Ibizia DJ’s, the music on the Bridgestone Stage is one of the most unique parts of the ABR Festival. We’re still working hard to finalise the line-up of the Bridgestone Stage, so check back soon to see who’ll be playing.
