Adam Lambert Mini Residency Coming to Las Vegas' Venetian Theatre: Exclusive
It’s not just another Tuesday for singer Adam Lambert. Today he releases a new song, “Roses” featuring Nile Rodgers, announces a new album, Velvet, out March 20, and his first solo headlining gig in Las Vegas, April 22 and 24-25 at the Venetian Theatre.
His first turn in Las Vegas, back in September 2018 was a 10-night sell-out at Park Theater—where Lady Gaga performs—with Queen + Adam Lambert’s “The Crown Jewels” residency.
Live Nation’s Billy Conn, the promoter behind the Venetian Theatre, says that Lambert was an easy choice for a “mini residency” as he appeals to different audiences from a range of demographics.
This reach can be attributed to Lambert’s appearance on American Idol season 8, his vibrant solo career including a Grammy Award nomination for “Whatya Want From Me,” his second record Trespassing, which reportedly became the first album to reach the No. 1 spot in the U.S. and Canada by an openly gay artist, and touring as the lead singer of Queen since 2012.
“He's created new fans on both sides,” Conn says. “Look at all the tickets that Queen [has sold] and all the touring. You had a lot of Queen fans [who didn’t know who] Adam was, and vice versa. It should be very unique to see the two different age groups cross over to come see the show.”
Tickets go on sale Feb. 8 for Velvet, his three-night limited engagement at Venetian Theatre. These will be his only solo dates in the U.S. this year. Lambert will tour the 13-song Velvet across Europe starting in Manchester, U.K. on Aug. 30 for the Manchester Pride festival, before playing London’s Wembley Arena and making his way across Europe concluding in Helsinki on September 12.
The Venetian Theatre has seen an incredible arc over the last decade. Formerly the home of the stage production of Phantom of the Opera, now it is a top selling venue for heritage acts such as Chicago, Doobie Brothers and ZZ Top and country stars such as Tim and Faith, Willie Nelson and Rascal Flatts.
“Chicago has been coming for the last four years. And we continuously keep their residency going with eight to nine shows every calendar year. Styx has come through the room. ZZ Top, Steely Dan. And we had some great success in the shorter more limited runs, with Jackson Browne, Michael McDonald,” Conn says.
At 1,800 seats, its capacity is a sweet spot for touring musicians, offering a more intimate experience for audiences that are accustomed to seeing these acts in larger venues.

Adam Lambert announced as first Manchester Pride Live 2020 headliner
The Queen frontman will headline the Sunday of the LGBTQ+ festival
Adam Lambert has been announced as the first headliner of this year's Manchester Pride Live festival.
The Queen frontman and renowned solo artist will perform at the live music portion of the annual LGBTQ+ celebration this August.
Manchester Pride Live will return to Mayfield for a second year this summer, with live music taking place over the course of two days.
Adam will play at Manchester Pride as part of his Velvet Tour across Europe, one of only two UK dates.
The tour is in support of upcoming fourth solo album Velvet, from which he has just released single Roses, with Nile Rogers.
The openly gay singer-songwriter-actor first rose to fame in 2009 on American Idol, and has since gone on to perform as frontman for Queen.
Adam has sold more than three million albums and five million singles worldwide.
Mark Fletcher, chief executive for Manchester Pride, said: "We are beyond thrilled that Adam has created a space in his tour to join in our celebrations of LGBTQ+ life in Manchester.
"As a charity that campaigns for LGBTQ+ equality all year round it’s incredibly important to us that we showcase the breadth of LGBTQ+ artists who provide inspiration to all.
"To have such an influential LGBTQ activist as Adam choose to perform at Manchester Pride Live is testament to the reputation that Manchester has as a leading city, worldwide in the advancement of LGBTQ+ equality.
"Adam is the first of many more artist announcements to come. Watch this space for more great LGBTQ+ performers and allies when we release our line-up in February."
Adam said: "I am so excited to perform at Manchester Pride for the very first time! Something I have always wanted to do! I keep hearing that LGBTQ + representation is on fire over there and I can’t wait to be part of it and see you soon!"
Manchester Pride Festival will run for four days over the August Bank Holiday weekend, with Manchester Pride Live taking place at Mayfield on Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30.
Last year's live music festival was headlined by Ariana Grande, Years & Years and Cheryl Cole.
Manchester Pride bosses have announced some changes for this year's event, after complaints of overcrowding and poor accessibility last year.
New for this year will the option to use Klarna for payments, meaning you can split ticket cost over three installments.
This year's event will be sponsored by Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays, after the collapse of Thomas Cook.
Tickets for Manchester Pride Live - known as the Rainbow Pass - are on sale now, priced at £35 plus booking fees for one day, or £65 plus booking fees for both days.
Rainbow Passes will also get you access to all four days of the Gay Village Party.
Manchester Pride Live is a strictly 18+ only event.
Tickets for the Gay Village Party cost £10 plus booking fee per day, for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday passes are £5 plus booking fee, or you can get a full weekend pass for £15 plus booking fees.
