Queen and Adam Lambert World Tour Adds Five More Shows to London Residency


Due to overwhelming demand, Queen + Adam Lambert have added five additional shows to their June 2020 hugely anticipated “Rhapsody” residency at London’s O2 Arena — bringing the total of London performances to 10. The extra shows will take place on June 8, 17, 18, 20 and 21. In what will be their first European dates since the worldwide box office sensation that was the “Bohemian Rhapsody” film, They new tour follows their run of dates across the USA and played to sold-out audiences totaling close to 400,000 spectators. The all-new “Rhapsody” show, already hailed as “a marvel of technical advances,” will kick off the new year of 2020 with 17 giant arena and stadium shows across South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The mega-show will then arrive in Europe in late spring, as Queen original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor team up once more with longtime frontman Adam Lambert on lead vocals to perform shows across nine countries from late May into early July. The European tour will launch in Italy on May 24, with its final stop in Madrid with two shows on July 7 and July 8. Along the way, it will play in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as the U.K., where dates will center around the 10 London shows at The O2 beginning on June 2 June. Tickets for the U.K. dates on the “Rhapsody” tour go on sale to the general public today (December 11), at 10 a.m. local time. There are no pre-sales. Tickets are available at the following link.

Tickets (maximum of six tickets per booking) are priced from £45.00 and available from https://www.Ticketmaster.co.uk and https://www.QueenOnline.com.

The tour comes at a time when Queen continues to ride high on the momentum of their box-office-busting, Oscar-winning “Bohemian Rhapsody” biopic, which has introduced their music to new audiences with record-breaking results. Apart from becoming the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, in the U.K., it is also No. 1 biggest-selling film of 2019 on home release.

Queen’s original soundtrack to the film has remained high in the U.K. album chart ever since its November 2018 debut; in the U.S., it became the band’s highest-charting album in 38 years, and Queen sold more albums in North America than any artist in the first half of 2019. The timeless and groundbreaking “Bohemian Rhapsody” video has reached a historic one billion views on YouTube, making it the most viewed music clip of the 20th Century. In addition, YouTube views of “Don’t Stop Me Now” have just passed the 500 million mark.

This week, Apple Music named Queen as the most-streamed rock artist globally among Apple Music users in 2019.

Revealing the news long-awaited by the band’s Europe fans, Taylor stated: “We’re back and we’re hot.”

An enthused May said: “This is a fearsome new production taking the Queen legacy to a new place. I’m well proud.”

Lambert joined in saying: “I can’t wait to get back to the U.K. and Europe. We had a blast on our last tour, and I am so excited to bring this new show over there!”

Once again completing the tour lineup will be the band’s long-term on-stage collaborator Spike Edney on keyboards, Neil Fairclough on bass and Tyler Warren on percussion.
