Queen + Adam Lambert
Having first appeared together on the 2009 American Idol finale, followed with a performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards, Adam Lambert soon became a fixture with Queen, and with the band performed several big concerts and television performances in 2012 and 2013, followed by a fully sold out US tour in 2014 at the end of which Queen + Adam Lambert received the Band of the Year accolade at the 10th annual Classic Rock Roll of Honour awards as well as being voted Best Live Band of the Year in Ultimate Classic Rock’s year round up reader’s poll.
Their recent world tour span 67 sold out concert dates in less than a year (including Vienna!) – producing rave reviews by critics & media like:
“Queen and Adam Lambert delivered just over two hours of pure sensation straight into the nerves and bones of anyone fortunate enough to witness it. Freddie may be gone, but he would surely approve.” (Brisbane Times)
“Did they rock us? Oh YES!” (New York Daily News)
In 1985 Queen’s two Rock in Rio performances drew a total audience of more than half a million people, the largest paid audience in history and for Queen their biggest concert audiences ever reached.
Just this September – thirty years after Queen performed the opening and closing at the inaugural festival event – they were invited back to Brazil’s Rock in Rio festival to headline the opening night, this time fronted by Adam Lambert. The following 6 gig tour in South America sold out in record time and made it a triumphant return to the continent.

With their sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality, and colossal spectacle of their live performances, Queen – Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon – captured hearts and conquered charts like no other band in history, a legacy that continues to live through the ongoing work and concert performances by May and Taylor, now joined by Adam Lambert.
