Queen and Adam Lambert announce Dublin summer concert date

Rock band Queen and American pop singer Adam Lambert announced today that they would play an open-air concert in Dublin's Marlay Park this summer.

One show has been confirmed so far for July 8 as part of Queen's "One more around the block" tour.

Queen and Adam Lambert first shared the stage for the American Idol final in May 2009,and have since played more than 130 shows around the world.

The surprise announcement that they would be adding new European dates came in the wake of last November's sold out show at the 3 Arena.

Ticket prices start from €79.50 and go on sale Friday, March 9th at 9am via Ticketmaster.
