Queen + Adam Lambert have announced six stadium shows bringing The Rhapsody Tour outdoors for Australia in 2020.

The Rhapsody Tour is taking Queen production to a new level. In a statement, Brian May said, “This is a great opportunity. Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious! Watch out, Australia! ”

Adam Lambert, who has done an honourable job in the role of Queen lead singer since 2014 says, “We have a brand-new visual spectacle that will reframe these iconic songs and we are excited to reveal the show to Australian fans!”

The outdoor shows have given set designer Ric Lipson a much bigger space to work with. “Queen + Adam Lambert’s Rhapsody tour will, once again for them, expand the parameters of what a live music experience can be. This new show promises to be their most spectacular yet, an innovative and interactive celebration of the continued power of Queen’s music, he says”

Promoter Paul Dainty added, “With the enormous success of the highest grossing music biopic of all time – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen’s popularity in Australia is as huge as it gets, we can’t wait to bring Queen + Adam Lambert back to Australia with this brand new stadium production and watch them bring their iconic songs to life.”
