Announcing their Rhapsody Tour of New Zealand Brian May said “This is a great opportunity. Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious!  Watch out, New Zealand! "

Paul Dainty, President and CEO of TEG-DAINTY said: “With the enormous success of the highest grossing music biopic of all time - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen’s popularity in New Zealand is as huge as it gets, we can’t wait to bring Queen + Adam Lambert back to New Zealand with this brand new stadium production and watch them bring their iconic songs to life.”

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is officially the world’s most-streamed song from the 20^th Century, and in NZ, the band scored its highest-charting album in 24 years with the Platinum-selling Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack.

When Freddie sang The Show Must Go On all those years back, even he couldn’t have guessed that Queen music would still be thrilling audiences. Next summer, the stadium stages of New Zealand will be well and truly rocked again. 

“Queen + Adam Lambert is such a victory both tonally and in substance that it probably surprises even the most diehard fans of both acts." – NZ Herald

The New Zealand dates are expected to be part of a wider tour of the region taking in six stadium shows in Australia and likely also several East Asia dates.
