The only thing better than Queen announcing North American Tour Dates is that tour getting extended throughout UK and Europe.
Just weeks after announcing a 26-date summer tour of North America, Queen and Adam Lambert today revealed they will return to Europe later this year, and the London PCB office is especially looking forward to their stop at The O2 Arena on Tuesday 12 December 2017 (awww, nuts, that seems like ages away!). European and UK tickets go on sale Friday 21 April and, for the London show (or shows? Could we dream…?) are available at www.theo2.co.uk or by calling 0844 856 0202.
Lots of significance to this tour: there is a spectacular new stage production, it is the 40th anniversary of their highest-selling album, News of the World (featuring among other hits, “We Will Rock You”) and the boys have put together a set list that will of course dip into those radio-friendly hits but, we hear, provide some surprises. These UK shows will mark the band’s first full British tour in almost three years, having last performed here in January 2015 when they played 10 sold out shows. That was back when Lambert was a new-ish addition to the band, and PCB went to see if the chemistry worked. Spoiler: the chemistry worked.
Now, can we hold out hope for Australasian and South American Beasts? Green fingers crossed that this show is coming your way.
