Queen and Adam Lambert’s Rhapsody Tour is not just any tour. It’s a celebration of the band’s legacy, with one of the most iconic rock bands of all time reimagined for a new generation. And with Adam Lambert’s powerful vocals and energy, the show is anything but a tribute. It’s a reinvention that keeps the spirit of Queen intact while breathing new life into their classic hits.
But it’s not just about the hits. What makes the Rhapsody Tour even more exciting is the addition of new songs to the setlist. According to drummer Roger Taylor, the band tries to keep things interesting by changing small elements of the show while still keeping the big hits that fans know and love. He also hints at a few surprises that you would not expect – adding an air of mystery to the show.
“We do constantly try and keep ourselves interested because it’s nice to change the show around, even in small ways,” says drummer Roger Taylor. “Obviously we do some sort of deep cuts whilst at the same time keeping the big hits that everybody knows. People want to see what they know. But it’s nice to spice it up with a few things they might not expect.”
And let’s not forget the newly knighted member, Brian May. The legendary guitarist of Queen received a knighthood from the Queen of England in 2020 for his services to music. This adds an extra layer of excitement to the show, as fans get to see a fully loaded Queen lineup, complete with a freshly knighted member.
But what about the production itself? According to Adam Lambert, the Rhapsody Tour will feature a brand new look and feel, with new visuals and stage designs to complement the music. With so much time to prepare during the pandemic, it’s safe to say that the band has put a lot of thought and effort into the production. This is a show you won’t want to miss.
