QUEEN & Adam Lambert Return to Bring A Mind-blowing Spectacle Across North America

With their groundbreaking Rhapsody Tour, Queen + Adam Lambert have taken the world by storm with their electrifying performances and awe-inspiring productions. After a 4-year hiatus, fans will be thrilled to know that the legendary band and the sensational vocalist are returning to North America, with tickets going on sale starting Friday, March 31 at 10 a.m. local on LiveNation.com.  Tour dates are listed below.

There are few bands that can match the sheer talent and presence of Queen, and even fewer performers who can step into the shoes of the legendary Freddie Mercury. Yet, with Adam Lambert taking the stage alongside original members Brian May and Roger Taylor, it’s safe to say that the Queen legacy is in good hands. The Queen + Adam Lambert tour has been wowing audiences around the world with its state-of-the-art stage design, incredible special effects, and, of course, the timeless music of one of the greatest songbooks in rock history. Fans are treated to a full-blooded celebration of everything that made Queen an enduring icon of the music world.

The Rhapsody Tour promises to be a treat for fans as they get to witness an expanded and updated version of the production that won hearts across the country in 2019. The 150-minute career-spanning set list will bring back fond memories of the band’s classic hits. But this tour is more than just a tribute to the past. It’s also a showcase of the undimmed musical prowess of Brian and Roger, and the electrifying stage charisma and vocal skills of Adam Lambert. Together, they bring a new energy to these classic songs, breathing new life into them without ever losing sight of what made them special in the first place.

“I can’t wait to tour North America one more time with the Rhapsody tour alongside the two unbelievably talented legends that are Brian May and Roger Taylor,”  said Adam Lambert

The band’s commitment to their fans is evident in their efforts to combat ticket scalpers. Queen + Adam Lambert recognize how frustrating it can be for fans to miss out on tickets due to scalpers, who then resell these tickets at inflated prices. In collaboration with the venues’ ticketing partners, they have worked on restricting the ability to transfer tickets, making sure they are only transferred between fans at the original price. 

Of course, even the most enthusiastic fans can be hit with unexpected circumstances that make attending a show impossible. That’s why Queen + Adam Lambert have ensured that fans have protection against unforeseen events. With the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange, buyers and sellers can easily sell tickets at the price they paid, providing a simple and safe way to ensure that everyone gets a fair deal. 

More Info on How Ticketing Works Here

Unfortunately, some states (including NY, IL, and CO) have laws in place that protect ticket scalpers, making it harder for artists to restrict ticket transfers to face value exchanges only. In these cases, Queen + Adam Lambert strongly encourage fans to buy and sell tickets on face value exchanges only.

Brian May says, “Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious. Watch out world.” 

The Rhapsody Tour is constantly evolving as the band extensively tours the world, and this iteration promises to be a visual feast of the best of Queen’s music. From the stunning stage production and pyrotechnics to the band’s inimitable energy, Queen + Adam Lambert are sure to put on a show audiences will never forget. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this epic spectacle as Queen + Adam Lambert take on North America. With their unforgettable music, incredible performances, and commitment to fairness for fans, it’s clear that Queen’s legacy will continue to endure for many years to come. Get your tickets, and brace yourself for a performance of a lifetime.

Covet Release “lovespell” Single & Video

SAN FRANCISCO – Covet, the Bay area trio who recently announced the impending arrival of their third album, catharsis (April 7, Triple Crown Records) have released “lovespell” a second track, and accompanying video, from the eagerly-awaited album.

Yvette Young says of the song: “This one is the album closer. The closest feeling I get to falling in love is when I write and play music, and this song is a tribute to that feeling of being totally smitten by the joy of creating and feeling things deeply. It was important to me to leave everyone on a high note (in this case, a saxophone solo provided by the amazing Alex Rose from Minus the Bear).”

The “lovespell” video was also directed by Tom Flynn, who also partnered with the band for the recently released, free-spirited “firebird” clip. Kerrang! described the track “dazzling,” LouderSound called it “fret-bendingly good,” and Guitar World, in a nod to Yvette’s playing style, dubbed it “tap-happy.”

“We did a lot of risk-taking on this album,” Yvette explains of the 8-song, Scott Evans (Thrice, Samiam)-produced album. “I try to follow what excites me without heeding anybody’s expectations. I’m leaning into melodies, tones, and textures and trying to use them to transport listeners. The whole concept is escaping into a fantasy realm where the songs depict different characters and their own worlds. Each song is like their theme song. It’s mostly instrumental, but when you close your eyes, I hope people will be transported into the character’s story. 

“Music has always been escapism for me and a great source of therapy. My hope for this music is that it will take people somewhere and stir their imaginations, or at the very least, make them feel something. I named this record ‘catharsis’ because the word to me feels like a triumphant exodus. No matter the dire circumstances, music is one of those things that I’ve always needed to create to survive (in all senses of the word), and time and time again, I turn to guitar and songwriting as my outlet to uplift and feel like I have control over something in this chaotic universe.”

The Original Misfits Are Back: A Summer of Limited Legendary Shows with Special Guests

Rock fans, brace yourselves for the ultimate summer plan. The Original Misfits are coming to set the stage on fire with not just one but three epic shows. The band will be joined by other legendary bands such as Megadeth, AFI, The Gaslight Anthem, and Fear

June 24th will see the band kickstart the tour with a bang at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida. Supported by Megadeth and Fear, this is going to be one wild night of music that you cannot afford to miss. 

As if that wasn’t enough, the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, will host the band along with The Gaslight Anthem and Fear on July 8th. If you are in the area, you definitely don’t want to miss this one. 

Last but certainly not least, Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, Arizona, will be the final destination for The Original Misfits tour. The band is set to make their final appearance alongside AFI and Fear on July 15th, ending the summer tour with a bang. 

The Original Misfits have had a long-standing legacy since their formation in 1977. After a long hiatus, the reunion of the original members, Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only, has been a long-awaited event for fans. Their chemistry on stage is unparalleled, and the mix of old favorites and new tracks is sure to satisfy the cravings of long-time devotees as well as new fans. 

With an incredible line-up featuring some of the biggest names in the rock music industry, this is not a tour to miss. From the classic punk rock feel of The Original Misfits to the heavy metal hits of Megadeth, the pop-punk melody of The Gaslight Anthem, to the dark and gothic sound of AFI, this is going to be a musical extravaganza unlike any other. So, get your tickets, grab your friends, and get ready to chant along to the iconic lyrics of The Original Misfits. This is going to be a summer to remember.

Arch Enemy Launches New Video for “Poisoned Arrow”; Prepares to Kick Off Worldwide Touring This Weekend

After releasing their latest record, Deceivers, last year to critical acclaim, extreme metal masters Arch Enemy have returned today with a new video for the album track, “Poisoned Arrow“. Produced by Mirko Witzki (Witzki Visions), watch “Poisoned Arrow” today at 9AM PT//12PM ET//6PM CET here.


Michael Amott comments as follows: “I almost can’t believe we’re releasing a 7th (!) video off our recent ‘Deceivers’ album. Yet here it is, ‘Poisoned Arrow’, a mid-tempo track drenched in melodic guitar work and a somewhat different vibe overall compared to the other singles we’ve had out.

“The video was shot in Berlin, Germany during a hectic whirlwind schedule with director Mirko Witzki and his talented crew – they even made it snow in the middle of the sweltering German summer heat!

“Here’s another Deutschland connection for you; our German friend Raphy played the beautiful cello part on the intro and outro of the song, thanks again mate!

“2023 is upon us and Arch Enemy is back on the road again, we launch the proceedings in New Zealand, Australia and Japan and have a big European summer run too.

Who knows where we’ll go after that…but for now, check out ‘Poisoned Arrow’!”

Starting this weekend, Arch Enemy will hit the road, touring the world in support of Deceivers. The quintet will first appear in New Zealand and Australia before heading to Japan; this summer, fans will have the chance to catch Arch Enemy at the biggest festivals across Europe (with more EU shows to be announced soon!).

Deceivers

A collection of 11 tracks that are ruthlessly catchy and mercilessly violent, 2022’s Deceivers stands toe-to-toe with the highlights of the band’s storied catalogue. Roaring to life with “Handshake With Hell“, Arch Enemy make it clear they are out for blood, and every track is a hit, from the moody “Poisoned Arrow” to the titanically anthemic “One Last Time“. Sounding more energized than ever, the quintet is operating at the highest level, delivering a maelstrom of diamond-hard riffing wrapped around cinematic melodies, thunderous drumming and towering vocals. Arch Enemy has proved, yet again, that they are unstoppable.
