The Greatest “Bohemian Rhapsody” Flash Mob Ever Stuns Paris
If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to see Queen’s legendary anthem brought to life in the streets of Paris, this performance may be the closest thing.
On a warm summer evening, the historic Place de la Contrescarpe was transformed into a living, breathing concert hall during a breathtaking tribute to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” — marking the iconic song’s 50th anniversary in unforgettable style.
The event, held on July 10, 2025, was orchestrated by pianist and visionary organizer Julien Cohen, who brought together an ensemble of nearly 30 musicians and singers.
Together, they reimagined Freddie Mercury’s masterpiece with a performance that critics have already called “one of the most ambitious and brilliantly executed Queen tributes ever staged.”
But the night’s biggest surprise came when lead singer Mickey Callisto entered the square atop a horse-drawn carriage, channeling Freddie Mercury’s signature charisma and flair.
From that moment on, the crowd knew they were witnessing something extraordinary — a celebration of music, history, and spectacle that could only happen in Paris.
For those lucky enough to be there, it was more than a tribute.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime performance that captured the spirit of Queen and the enduring magic of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
