Queen is now on their World Tour featuring Adam Lambert and that are now heading to the American Airlines Center. Adam Lambert joins Queen to perform favorite Queen hits, like “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are The Champions”. This Friday, August 4th witness the creative genius of these two incredible artistic entities, that will honor the true sound of Queen and all that Freddie Mercury was. Doors open at 8:00 pm. Tickets starting at $50.
