Adam Lambert, Queen to bring joint tour to the UK next year

Adam Lambert and Queen have announced plans to bring their joint tour to the UK next year.

The seven-date tour will take place in January and include dates in Newcastle, Glasgow, London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Nottingham.

Queen and Adam Lambert previously played three dates at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in 2012, but according to Lambert their stage show is now “more of a production” since they’ve taken it across North America, Australia and New Zealand and continental Europe.

“We’ve had a lot more cities to visit and so I think we all decided to build up the visuals and the stage accordingly, and of course we do all the hits,” said the American Idol singer in a press release.

“We have a very interesting set design. It’s big and daring. We’re going to do it to the max,” added Queen’s guitarist Brian May.

Tickets for the UK shows go on sale this Friday (October 3) at 9am. Check out the full list of dates below:

January 13 – Newcastle, Arena
January 14 – Glasgow, Hydro
January 17 – London, O2 Arena
January 20 – Leeds, Arena
January 21 – Manchester Arena
