Madrid through the venue’s camera

Movistar Arena España has published a vertical video showing God Save the Queen on stage in Madrid. The clip brings us close to the musicians, including a moment at the piano, rather than offering a complete recording. You can watch it here in the venue’s own YouTube player.

A tribute to Queen’s live legacy

The venue listed the Madrid date for 12 October 2026, as part of a production marking forty years since Queen’s final live show with Freddie Mercury. God Save the Queen, also known as Dios Salve a la Reina, is a tribute band; this was their performance, distinct from a Queen concert.

From the stage back to the songs

A short clip offers a glimpse of a concert: the staging, the performers and the perspective chosen by the person filming. It cannot replace a full performance or establish the complete running order. The video is a useful companion to the event listing, allowing readers to see part of the show through footage shared by the venue itself.

To continue exploring the music, follow our A Kind of Magic album page into the 1986 studio recordings, or revisit Love of My Life and its place in Queen’s catalogue. Those pages provide another route into the songs behind the tribute, linking the contemporary performance back to the band’s recorded history.
