Press Release: Queen To Play Hammersmith
 
Queen with Adam Lambert – Despite Cancelled Sonisphere, UK Concerts To Go
Ahead
 
Just two weeks after the shock cancellation of Sonisphere 2012 where they
were due to headline with singer Adam Lambert, rock band Queen has
announced they are to go ahead with a UK concert appearance this summer
after all.
 
The band today announced that the highly anticipated pairing of Queen and
Lambert will instead take place at London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo over
two nights, July 11 and 12.
 
In the announcement the band also promised to endeavour to give priority
booking to those who had held tickets for their Knebworth concert.
 
Tickets will go on sale next week, first to Queen fans and Sonisphere
ticket holders and then on general sale.
 
Says a band spokesperson, “Queen acted immediately in looking for an
alternative venue in an aim to avoid disappointing all those fans who had
so desperately looked forward to seeing them at Knebworth.  Coming in the
lead into the Olympics, most of the venues they first approached were
unavailable, being taken as official London Games 2012 venues. As the
setting of some of the band’s best remembered concerts, the idea of
returning to this historic Hammersmith venue really appealed to them.”
 
Said Brian May:  "Somehow this feels right - The Odeon is a big part of
our history, and its atmosphere is second to none.  It's the perfect place
to acknowledge our faithful fans, and will be a fitting return to our
roots!" 
 
Roger Taylor adds: "We had made up our minds to play in the UK this year,
so play we will ! Following the collapse of the Sonisphere organisation we
didn't want to let down all those people expecting to see us live!"
 
Speaking from the US, Adam Lambert said: “I’m so thrilled that Queen found
a way to ensure that the fans will get to see this event this summer.  I
can’t wait to be in London to perform with Queen for these incredibly
special shows!”
 
Originally known as the Hammersmith Odeon, the venue was the scene of four
sold-out Queen concerts in late November/early December 1975, as well as a
special Christmas Eve show; and the band returned for a triumphant
end-of-tour show in December 1979, playing the opening night of a series
of UNICEF concerts for the people of Kampuchea.  Amongst fans, the
Hammersmith shows continue to be regarded as some of Queen’s most
exceptional.  Broadcast live on national radio and TV, the Christmas show
has become one of the most heavily bootlegged in the band's career, and an
edited version of the show has been recently shown by the BBC.   But a
high quality official release DVD is now planned, unedited, which will
include the audio of all of the songs which were not originally
transmitted on TV. 
 
Tickets for Queen + Adam Lambert concerts at HMV Hammersmith Apollo on
Wednesday July 11 and Thursday July 12 will first be available on a
24-hour presale to Queen Online subscribers, Queen Fan Club members and
Sonisphere ticket holders from 9am on Tuesday April 17. Pre-sale details
will be sent on to these communities separately via e-mail.
