“WORST-KEPT SECRET IN ROCK”
Adam Lambert tweeted on Monday afternoon:
Setting the record straight in about an hour and a half. 
(straight?)
As many suspected, I can finally confirm: I have been invited by Queen to sing one very special concert! Sonisphere at Knebworth July 7th!
Sorry to be coy about the details the past few weeks, but I made a promise to keep it under wraps as best I could. Gonna be a surreal night!
Pre-Sale of Sonisphere Tickets available through Fan Club ”On what will undoubtedly rate as one of this summer’s most highly anticipated and emotionally charged concerts Queen’s Roger Taylor says: “I remember Knebworth as being the most incredible gig, with the most amazing audience and the sound on stage was utterly perfect. It was a fitting last stand before a live audience for Freddie. It will be a real challenge to complete the circle by returning with Adam.”"
PRESALE TICKETS FOR ADAM LAMBERT FAN CLUB MEMBERS STARTS TODAY AT 8PM GMT
Fan club members can access presale tickets here.

PRESS AND BLOG PICKS
Yahoo - He Will Rock You: Adam Lambert Finally Confirms Queen Performance at Sonisphere Festival “I personally appreciate the fact that while Adam easily nails every single Mercury-rising high note in the Queen catalog, he never tries to be a Freddie copycat; he’s always himself, which is actually the most respectful way he–or any guest Queen singer–could ever honor the memory of an icon as unique as Freddie (as evidenced by the amazing George Michael, Annie Lennox and David Bowie tributes at the historical 1992 Freddie tribute at London’s Wembley Stadium).”
BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat – Adam Lambert to perform with Queen “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.” Queen’s final concert with Mercury was in Knebworth in 1986. Other acts added to the Sonisphere line-up include The Darkness, Incubus, Refused, Ghost, Flogging Molly and musical comedian Tim Minchin.
Sonisphere - QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT = SATURDAY NIGHT PARTYTIME ”QUEEN’s Brian May and Roger Taylor have confirmed the band will headline the second day of SONISPHERE appearing on the APOLLO stage on Saturday July 7. KNEBWORTH was the setting for QUEEN’s final concert with Freddie Mercury in August 1986. May and Taylor also confirmed that for this very special event they will be joined by US singer-songwriter ADAM LAMBERT.”
NME - Queen’s Brian May: ‘Freddie Mercury would approve of Adam Lambert’ “Speaking about the band’s plan for the set and how he felt it would be received by the group’s fans, May said: “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! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush.”"

Sauli’s Blog - New York and A New Friend 2-20-12. Translation by @miachihu & @tiiqqu. “n New York it is customary to always go and see the latest Broadway Show.

sounds like it will be grand
I recently subscribed to your updates; I really enjoy reading them everyday–keeps me right on top of what is going on with Adam, whom of course, I love. Hope he plans a tour this year, as I have never seen him in concert and would love to go—Atlanta is close to me, maybe he will do a show there again!
Hi Serena,
Thanks so much for your encouraging words. I’m sure his tour will stop in Atlanta! – Juneau
