Following the tremendous success of the band's biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT have announced dates for a 2019 summer tour.

The ‘Rhapsody Tour’ will kick off on July 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia and will wrap on Aug. 23 in Charlotte, North Carolina and promises to be “as experimental and rule-defying as the hit-packed QUEEN back catalog.” Tickets for the outing will go on sale on Dec. 7 at 10 AM local time here and all tour dates below.


Guitarist Brian May released a statement saying, “This is 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, America!”
 
The show is set to “expand the parameters of what a live music experience can be” and promises “to be their most spectacular yet, an innovative and interactive celebration of the continued power of Queen’s music.”
 
Frontman Adam Lambert says, “We have been designing a brand new visual spectacle that will reframe these iconic songs and we are excited to unveil it!”
 
In other QUEEN news, Bohemian Rhapsody is now the all-time biopic champion. The film raked in another $7.9 million dollars over Thanksgiving weekend bringing its total North American haul to an impressive $164.3 million.
