Hey guys, quick question....I've been a bit distracted the past few days...I saw the 3 song official broadcast from Tokyo of NIH/SCC/Born To Love You. But I thought I saw somewhere that there had been a longer one? Am I just delusional. If not does anyone have a longer broadcast video downloaded they could point out to me? Thanks! I think there will be a longer, 30 minute set, aired in October. At least that's what I got from speed reading. |

Queen set for Glastonbury?Queen are in line to headline Glastonbury Festival.www.tv3.ie/entertainment_article.php?locID=1.803.810&article=146870 The legendary rock band - which sees newest frontman Adam Lambert joined by founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor - is wanted by the event organisers, and could make their first-ever appearance in 2015. An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: ''Glastonbury is just one of the possible destination. The band would love to have a go.'' The 'We Are the Champions' hitmakers have never played at the iconic Worthy Farm festival, but it could happen next year following their recently-announced UK arena tour in January as part of a longer trip round Europe. Meanwhile, frontman Adam - who first performed with the group in 2008 - has revealed he has total control over his style, and isn't forced to emulate the late Freddie Mercury with his on-stage outfits. He told The Sun newspaper: ''Brian May said Freddie would get a big kick out of me, and as a huge fan of Freddie, that meant the world to me. ''But styling-wise it's all up to me and I like to have a bit of fun with that.''  Just when you thought your credit card could catch it's breath! It's now the 'Once in an extended lifetime tour'. Haha so true! I love that Adam has complete control over his style, as it should be. |

Glastonbury is extremely unlikely, at least for 2015. They would have been on the horizon already if they were a possibility. This is Shosh using her contacts at the Daily Star to drive attention towards the tour with an angle. I actually don't want them to do Glastonbury (yet)  it would cause the "he's no Freddie" to end all "he's no Freddie"s from the British press. Adam needs more solo success in the UK before they would "let" him do it. |

That's presuming they would be headlining. I can't see Brian and Roger wanting to do anything less.

I am here, ready for the Amsterdam pre-sale to start, and now I see that they have added VIP packages, early-entry GA, 'hot tickets' (=good seats)... I had hoped to get two seats in a decent place for the normal price, but I guess I'll have to be content with a bit less. But I will get to see them! That's the most important thing. Fingers crossed!

Lady Gaga comments on Adam Lambert performing with Queen as they talk their European tourprimetime.unrealitytv.co.uk/lady-gaga-comments-adam-lambert-performing-queen-talk-european-tour/ Photo Credit: @susanneahhh
Yesterday Queen and Adam Lambert confirmed their plans to bring their tour – which has already graced North America, New Zealand and Australia to name a few, over to Europe. Thankfully for fans, the group will also be bringing their show to the UK for a number of shows at the beginning of next year and they’ve been talking about it already. For Queen, having Adam Lambert as their new frontman has always been a big deal, they love him and fans of the rock band are adapting to the change. It seems like the singer has slotted right into place at the front of the band alongside legends Brian May and Roger Taylor and even Lady Gaga would have to agree. Recently while on their tour of Australia Lady Gaga joined them on stage to perform ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ and has since commented saying that Adam is doing a great job. Tweeting Adam yesterday Lady Gaga said: “Miss singing with you and Queen! You do Freddie so proud every night, so happy for you!” We’re sure that fans of Adam Lambert will be just as thrilled that everyone seems to be loving his role at the front of such a big, legendary band.  Lady Gaga joined Queen and Adam Lambert on stage in Australia
Commenting on the new shows, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen told fans that the shows in the UK will be bigger than they’ve ever seen from the rockers. Roger Taylor said: “On the technical side, it’s definitely more of a production than two years ago. We’ve had a lot more cities to visit and so I think we all decided to build up the visuals and the stage accordingly, and of course we do all the hits.” Brian May added that the design for their set is interesting, describing it as “big and daring” and he explained that they’re going to take things to the max adding that Adam is “the most incredible frontman”. Taylor concluded: “He’s sensational. He has this amazing range, ’cause Freddie had a great range. Adam can really cover it. He’s an extraordinary singer and a real talent. I feel he fits into our sort of theatricality. It is very comfortable.” Check out the full list of European dates (including those in the UK) that were announced yesterday and let us know in the comments below – just how excited are you?

Ok, gotcha! It is row 6, but that is good, especially since row 5 is more than twice as expensive.
The ticketmaster website is a bit confusing, if you want anything other than the normal tickets (the VIPs and hot tickets etc.) you have to click on 'select another date'. This gives you more options in choosing the ticket.
Edit: it seems that the special tickets are not on sale yet

Hey nic42 - I've got 2 tickets for Amsterdam in Section 103. See you there! Great! I'm in 111! And I did find a map of the ziggo dome online, although it is for a Katy Perry concert. The sections should be the same though, just the floor that is different.  |
