What band is the film "Bohemian Rhapsody" about?

The film "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about the British rock band Queen. Released in 2018, it follows the group’s rise from the early 1970s through its breakthrough success and its celebrated 1985 Live Aid performance.

The story focuses especially on singer Freddie Mercury, played by Rami Malek, alongside bandmates Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. Queen became known for blending rock with opera, theatrical performance, and ambitious studio production. Songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," and "Another One Bites the Dust" helped make the band globally famous.

A common mix-up is that the title refers to Freddie Mercury personally. The film is a biographical drama about Mercury, but its central subject is Queen as a band. The real Live Aid concert took place at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985, and Queen’s performance became one of the event’s most remembered appearances.
