Queen and Adam Lambert will hit Australia for an arena trek this August and September.
The tour will visit the country’s four biggest cities, and it’ll mark the band’s first in Australia since 1985.
Promoter Paul Dainty said of the upcoming run, “Since I have started promoting and producing concert tours, one of my biggest dreams has been to bring Queen back to Australia and now this dream is a reality.” The tour “may be the last chance Australian fans have to see one of the greatest rock bands in history,” Dainty added.
