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

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.

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.
