Queen + Adam Lambert have added a further five shows to their Rhapsody residency at London’s O2 Arena, bringing the total number of performances at the venue to 10. The extra shows will take place on June 8, 17, 18, 20 and 21.

The European leg of the Rhapsody tour was announced in September, with a statement on Brian May’s website reading: “The all-new Rhapsody show, already hailed as ‘a marvel of technical advances,’ will kick off the New Year of 2020 with 17 giant arena and stadium shows across South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. 

“The extravaganza will then arrive in the UK and Europe in late Spring, as Queen original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor team up once more with longtime frontman Adam Lambert."

Set designer Ric Lipson describes the Rhapsody production as “A new chapter in the history of the band. Once again for them expanding the parameters of what a live music experience can be, this new show delivers the band’s most spectacular yet, an innovative and interactive celebration of the continued power of Queen’s music."

Tickets for the new shows are now on sale, with a limit of six tickets per booking. Full dates below.
