“Put Rami Malek high on the list for best film performances of 2018. He performs miracles, catching the look, strut and soul of Mercury [...] You don’t want to miss his performance”
DOORS: 19:15 | FILM STARTS 20:00
We’re excited to be returning to the Loco Klub in October to pay homage to two classic rock biopics! This stunning events space beneath Temple Meads will play host to a subterranean cinema experience as we turn it up to 11 and head back to the 70s to celebrate two of the most flamboyant entertainers in music history. Join us in the private bar and enjoy live performers pre-film, then delve deeper still into the tunnels for the main show.
Our second film of the evening is the smash hit Bohemian Rhapsody, telling the story of the late Queen frontman and the band’s meteoric rise to fame. Rami Malek deservedly won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, capturing the charisma and the vulnerability of the man behind the legend - and of course the songs will leave you clapping, and stomping, then stomp-stomp-clapping…
