I haven't seen another recent update of the QAL concerts spreadsheet, but as soon as I see another one, I will post it in this thread!

It's not really surprising.  Queen has been a global phenomenon for decades, and Adam is actually better known outside the USA than inside it (although that appears to be changing rapidly, especially since Glee).  I will be very interested to see if they add more dates in Europe, South America, Asia, etc.  If they do I'm fairly certain they'll end in the UK, maybe that regardless.  But I do wonder how much time and energy they'll have to devote to a bigger tour, given Adam's 3rd album promo approaching, and Brian's health.

It's especially fun to see Eastern Europe, but I suppose that's not surprising either, since they really missed the height of great rock during the isolation of the Soviet Union.  Maybe QAL will decide to do another arm of the tour early in 2015 instead.  I'm up for any of it.  If they do Europe and the UK then, I might have a shot at one of those shows, while traveling internationally for me this summer wouldn't be possible.

icy, you better get on the stick and get yourself to one of those shows in Canada -- have your buddy, Inu, pick you up if you don't have a way to get there! I was actually serious when I said I would take you if I lived near you!

I think there's only tickets left in Saskatoon and Edmonton (or are some still available from the second show added in Toronto?).  Rob Ford will party-hardy that night, no doubt!  \o/

eta: Looks like there some in Winnipeg, too.  Poor Winnipeg!  Like Nebraska, it's just is too much in the middle of nowhere.  I will say that I ate at one of the best steak houses ever on a business trip to Winnipeg, though.  It was in an old Victorian Mansion - can't recall the name.  We were taken out by our clients, and the steaks and chops were huge!  We all put our voluminous left-overs together in a huge doggy bag for a Winnipeg marketer, and hoped his poor dog wouldn't have a heart attack.

I knew the day the shows was announced I couldn't go. Simply put for complicated reasons.
No offense, I wouldn't want to go with you. You have said some pretty nasty things about me for ages now. All because I chatted with someone you didn't like, so in turn you don't like me. That's really all it took and here on QZ your rage has boiled over towards me.
And I'll say this, inu liger and Yaff who have also faced your rants/rages are very nice people. You are not only missing out on Queen's music, you are missing out on getting to know some very good people, because you are so obsessed by AL.

QAL on Rolling Stones Top 40 Hottest Summer Tours list:

Queen + Adam LambertDates: June 19th to July 28th
Likely Highlight: Lambert can sing his ass off, so this thing will be great from start to finish. It's especially mind-blowing when Glambert rips into the last section of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Flashback To: The last watchable season of American Idol.

J. Timberlake is on the list, too.  It's interesting how RS focuses on all the covers he does.

Justin TimberlakeDates: July 9th to August 12th
Likely Highlight: Timberlake plays a lot of cool covers like "Human Nature" and "Jungle Boogie," the climax is his incredible finale of "Mirrors."
Flashback To: 2006, right as the world was re-introduced to the concept of "sexy."

Lambert sings cover songs, and not even well in some cases.
True!
