Queen + Adam Lambert Bring ‘Rhapsody Tour’ Back To North America
Having first launched their 25-date ‘Rhapsody Tour’ across North America in 2019, Queen + Adam Lambert are returning for another run.
Artist and teams made the most of this four-year long hiatus by expanding and upgrading the production surrounding the 150-minute career-spanning set list celebrating one of the most extraordinary back catalogues on earth.
The lineup still features original Queen members Sir Brian May, and Roger Taylor, and frontman Adam Lambert. As with last year’s UK and European dates, the 2023 North American tour will see Queen + Adam Lambert supported on stage by their regular band members, long-serving Queen keyboard player and musical director Spike Edney, bass guitarist Neil Fairclough and percussionist Tyler Warren.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off Oct. 4 at Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena, making stops in Toronto, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, and more, before concluding at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. See full routing below.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 31, at 10 a.m. local.

The run place the artists on 30th position on our Year End Top 200 North American Tours chart, having sold 370,431 tickets for a gross of $45.4 million.
