Queen and Adam Lambert are heading to Australia and New Zealand.
For those who saw the band when they were last out in 2014, they assure fans a new set list, some surprises, and a wild set design.
Roger Taylor (drummer, and the highest vocal on the very high “FOR MEEE” part in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody) says things “will look entirely different to the show we took around before. Production has really changed a lot, the things you can do now, you have a much broader palette, the technology has really come along.
“But we don’t use it all”, he continues. “We don’t play to click track. It’s 100% live. We’re planning on doing stuff we either haven’t done before or haven’t done for a long time. We started as an albums band, that’s what we were. The fact that we had hits was just a byproduct.”
“The general public knows the hits, so you’ve got to cater for that,” adds Brian May, “but we can chuck in a few things that people really don’t expect. We’ll do quite a bit more of that this time around. There are so many dimensions to Adam, which of course fits with our music. He can get down and do the rock stuff really dirty, and you have all those dimensions, and we can explore that even more.”
