I suppose they could do Wembley on the 30th June and the 02 on the 2nd July....48 hours apart. They did both in the December tour and even sold out 2 x the 02. Rumor was about the Wembley Stadium though. And that won’t happen in combination with he O2.

No. 23 June Manchester, 27 June Glasgow, 29 June Wembley 30 June Wembley Not sure if any of those dates clash with the newly-announced tour dates. Now announced: 13 June Cologne 19 June Berlin 20 June Hamburg 25 June Milan I say the rumoured dates are wrong. I simply see no sense at all for a show in Italy in the middle of two dates in the UK. Logistically that wouldn’t make any sense.

Wasn't June 25th one of the UK stadium dates though? I don’t know. Wembley was supposed to be Juni 29th/30th though. In the announcement of the German dates today it‘s mentioned that the tour would conclude in London, but on July2nd. So I have the feeling they were right about a tour, but the date and place were wrong. Oh ya!! No way they'd do a stadium date then the O2. Makes no sense to me, but who knows. I am usually wrong! Ladies, you might want to change your Wembly reservations to a hotel around the O2.

As for the choice to tour Europe again, maybe the answer is simple. Maybe it's because Brian and Roger simply don't want to travel to SA or someplace really far away after just returning from OZ and NZ. And there core fans are in the UK and Europe. We know that any tour could be their last. Gotta treasure whatever we get. Just a guess on my part.

Long ago in a galaxy far away, young Adam had a great gig for an aspiring actor/singer, touring in a Broadway production of Wicked. He felt frustrated and longed for a solo career as a pop singer, so he quit this stable gig to pursue his dream of stardom. When that didn't work out well, he ended up going back to the producers and begging for his job back in Wicked. Could it be that Adam learned from that experience not to walk away from a very lucrative gig? Add to that Adam greatly enjoys the QAL gig. Musically and vocally, it is highly challenging. He couldn't be performing on a bigger stage or with a more elaborate production than with Queen. Since he was lonely and shunned as a teen, he has placed great importance on creating close "families" with fellow performers, and he has that with Queen. Brian and Roger do not try and tell him what and how to perform; they like the fact that he takes the lead and has developed into a charismatic frontman. He has great freedom to perform as he wants. On the flip side, he doesn't have to carry the weight of being the solo star. Everything other than the performance itself is handled by a myriad of personnel. Finally, he is getting love, admiration, respect, and praise from huge audiences around the world. It makes perfect sense to me that Adam would continue to tour with Queen at this time. More power to him. They are family and they let Adam be Adam. I hope we get some changes in the setlist as there is much more from their catalog to be covered. Besides, the movie is out at the end of the year and the Grammy thing possibly later this year. Makes sense to be extending the tour and keeping them fresh in the public eye.

Since they come to Berlin and I don’t see any sign that this will be their last tour, I‘m somehow happy, that I won’t need that room at all😉.

Yay! Yay! More QAL! Just waiting for confirmation of all the dates. I tend to take all rumours with an acknowledge and ignore kind of policy.

We know that any tour could be their last. Gotta treasure whatever we get. Just a guess on my part. In the announcement for Germany I read, that the demand for their last leg in Europe was huge. They simply do now cities that they had to leave out in November/December. That means the three cities in Germany, plus Portugal,Spain, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Italy are mentioned. And Netherlands and London again. All in all it will be 12 dates.

"One More Round The Block" is kind of cryptic but I'm going to interpret it as the final time round the block in terms of touring. The guys are older, they wouldn't want to do it at anything less than 100% and Adam is ambitious enough to want to succeed on his own terms and not forever be typecast as the Queen singer. Much as he loves it. So I'm guessing it would suit all of them to bring the touring to a close and everyone will focus on their solo projects. Yet another hotel room booked for the O2. I'd rather be going to Wembley Stadium and I haven't forgotten Brian's cryptic Monopoly comment about advancing to Wembley Stadium. Q3 Q3, what does your source have to say about the UK date(s), please?

I‘m going with „One More Round on the Block“ means that the tour is just going into another round, as a sequel. I love QAL!😉
