Queen + Adam Lambert bring their highly anticipated North American summer tour to Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall Saturday night.

 

Brian May, Roger Taylor + Adam Lambert have been receiving glowing reviews for their performance together.

Rolling Stone said, “Lambert astounded the audience on songs like ‘We Will Rock You’ and the closing ‘We Are The Champions’ and ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’. It was the most anticipated act of the night.”

Billboard claimed, “…Queen effectively stole the show, with timeless songs that music fans of all genres can sing along to” and the Hollywood Reporter exclaimed, “Adam Lambert, Queen bring down the house. With the perfect mix of rock attitude mixed with style, theatricality, sex appeal and impressive vocal gymnastics, [Lambert] took the band’s music to new heights.”

The threesome first shared the stage during American Idol in May 2009 for a performance of “We Are The Champions”.

“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 memory; he’s a personal hero of mine... I feel like magic will be on display.”

In a career spanning over 40 years Queen has amassed a staggering list of sales, awards, and hall of fame inductions that is second to none. “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” – which also remain the most played songs at sports events and arenas around the world.

Lite Rock gave away a bunch of tickets to see Queen + Adam Lambert live at Boardwalk Hall and I hope you won some!  Enjoy the show!
