QUEEN + Adam Lambert received glowing reviews for their performance together at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September, triggering a conversation between Adam, Roger and Brian to take the show on the road. The threesome first shared the stage during "American Idol" in May 2009 for a performance of "We Are The Champions". They teamed up again in 2011 at the MTV European Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland for an electrifying eight-minute finale of "The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" and in the summer of 2012, Lambert performed a series of shows with QUEEN across Europe as well as dates in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. They also performed three sold-out gigs at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. "Let's ROCK those beautiful arenas JUST ONE MORE TIME!" said Brian May. "I'm completely in awe of the QUEEN phenomenon," added Lambert. "The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is so beautifully surreal. I'm honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's [Mercury] memory; he's a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.” The dates are as follows: Jun. 19 - Chicago, IL - United Center Jun. 21 - Winnipeg, MN - MTS Centre Jun. 23 - Saskatoon, SK - Credit Union Centre Jun. 24 - Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place Jun. 26 - Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome Jun. 28 - Vancouver, BC - Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena Jul. 01 - San Jose, CA - SAP Center Jul. 03 - Los Angeles, CA - The Forum Jul. 05 - Las Vegas, NV - The Joint Jul. 06 - Las Vegas, NV - The Joint Jul. 09 - Houston, TX - Toyota Center Jul. 10 - Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center Jul. 12 - Detroit, MI - The Palace of Auburn Hills Jul. 13 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre Jul. 14 - Montreal, QC - Bell Centre Jul. 16 - Philadelphia, PA Wells Fargo Center Jul. 17 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden Jul. 19 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun Arena Jul. 20 - Washington, DC - Merriweather Post Pavilion
