Queen & Adam Lambert returning to Birmingham in 2020
Two Killer Queen nights have been lined up in Birmingham after the rock legends announced an extension to their 2020 European tour.
Led by frontman Adam Lambert, the Rhapsody Tour will now hit the Second City on June 14 and 15 as well as 10 shows in London and two in Manchester already announced.
The dates at Arena Birmingham came following huge demand from fans across the world. Tickets are on sale and prices start from £45.

The all-new Rhapsody show is currently on a run of 17 stadium shows across South Asia and Australasia, which includes a special appearance at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, on February 16, as part of the Fire Fight Australia concert for national bushfire relief.
The touring spectacular will then arrive in the UK and Europe in late spring.
Queen guitarist Brian May said: “This is a fearsome new production taking the Queen legacy to a new place. I’m well proud.”
Lambert added: “I can’t wait to get back to the UK and Europe. We had a blast on our last tour, and I am so excited to bring this new show over there.”
Since Lambert first shared the stage with Queen for the 2009 American Idol final, his performances have reinvigorated the band and delighted fans worldwide.
Their first full show together, in June 2012, thrilled a crowd of half a million in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Since then, May and drummer Roger Taylor’s musical fireworks, matched by Lambert’s vocals and stage presence, have made for an explosive combination.
More than 200 gigs later, the partnership has remained a commercial and critical triumph, playing to full houses in every corner of the world.
