Queen announce ‘Rhapsody’ Australian tour

Queen announce ‘Rhapsody’ Australian tour

British rock behemoth Queen will tour Australia in February 2020, with an Adelaide stadium show included.

Founding members Brian May, Roger Taylor and long running frontman, former American Idol star Adam Lambert, will perform six shows around the country throughout February 2020. The group will make their way to Adelaide Oval on Wednesday, February 26, almost exactly two years to the day after their last South Australian show in February 2018.

AUSTRALIA! We’re excited to announce Queen + @adamlambert are bringing The Rhapsody Tour to you in February 2020 for 6 giant stadium shows with a brand-new, spectacular production! All details at https://t.co/7Y41SD1kuh pic.twitter.com/jnnVi6cbMq

Announced on the back of blockbuster biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen‘s public profile has rarely been higher in the last three decades. A stroke of back catalogue marketing genius rivalled only by Benny and Björn’s Mamma Mia, the film picked up a string of Oscars and Golden Globes while setting new box office records for its slick, historically questionable but very singable retelling of original frontman Freddie Mercury’s life.

Tickets for the tour will be on sale from 10.00am Adelaide time on Monday, April 15.
