Queen + Adam Lambert to perform in Budapest
Change language:
The active members of Queen and singer Adam Lambert are giving a concert in Budapest for the first time as part of their European tour. The collaboration is performing in the László Papp Sports Arena on November 4, nlcafe.hu writes.
The European leg of the 2017 tour begins on November 1 in Prague. The band will perform in 23 arenas in continental Europe as well as the UK and Ireland. The tour celebrates the 40th anniversary of one of the most successful albums of Queen, the 1977 News of the World, which contains among others the hit songs We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
The tour “will look entirely different to the show we took around before,” says drummer Roger Taylor. “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. We don’t play to click track. It’s 100% live.”
Taylor says that they are “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 we had hits was just a bi-product.”
“The general public knows the hits, so you’ve got to cater for that,” says guitarist 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.”
