Queen at Sonisphere with Adam Lambert

Queen will headline he Saturday evening of Sonisphere's UK date of this summer (July, 6-8), in Knebworth (Stevenage).
The band will be fronted by young singer Adam Lambert, who came second in the 2009 series of American Idol.

Lambert performed with Queen at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November. Fans and critics reacted positively to the collaboration, which sparked rumours of more joint projects in the future.
Brian May commented: "Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval".
Lambert added: "I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set is so beautifully surreal. I'm honoured to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's memory. He's a personal hero of mine and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band".

Freddie Mercury last performed with Queen in Knebworth, in 1986. He died on the evening of 24 November 1991 at the age of 45, after being diagnosed with aids four years before.
