First Extensive Solo Tour in 6 Years
Due to his heavy touring schedule in recent years as lead vocalist for legendary rock band Queen, Adam Lambert has not conducted an extensive solo tour since his first back in 2010. The Glam Nation Tour was a tremendous success and included over 100 shows from June through December 2010. He visited the continents of North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. So far The Original High tour includes more than 50 dates spread across Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe.

Dedicated Fans
Adam Lambert has one of the most dedicated fan bases of current pop artists. Calling themselves Glamberts in acknowledgement of his connection with glam pop, they have been a steady support for their favorite artist since his appearance on American Idol in 2009.

Adam Lambert Is a Role Model
Although he initially faced his position as a gay role model with reluctance, Adam Lambert has grown comfortable with the concept through the years. He has been widely praised in press for providing a positive image for gay youth.
He has spoken eloquently about filling a gap that existed when he was younger. In 2012 he became the first openly gay solo artist to have an album debut at #1 on the US album chart when Trespassing hit the charts.

Adam Lambert Was One of the Most Memorable American Idol Contestants
Despite the fact that he was defeated in the finale by Kris Allen, Adam Lambert remains one of the most memorable of American Idol contestants. Now as the show completes its 15th and final season, it is a perfect time to celebrate by seeing Adam Lambert in concert. After performing "Mad World," he received the only standing ovation given by Simon Cowell in his 10 years as an American Idol judge. Kris Allen stated after his victory that, "Adam deserved this."

Spectacle
Adam Lambert's performance style is frequently spectacular and flamboyant. There will be few dull moments when he takes the stage. That style was evident early on when he performed Tears for Fears' "Mad World" on American Idol and at his notorious 2009 American Music Awards performance. Look for eye catching costumes and staging on The Original High concert tour.

Queen Covers
From the untimely death of their revered lead vocalist Freddie Mercury in 1991, speculation followed the band Queen about a replacement. From 2005 to 2009, Paul Rodgers, former lead vocalist of Bad Company, served as the band's singer touring and recording with them. In the summer of 2012 Adam Lambert joined Queen for six concerts. Reviews were strongly positive, and the collaboration led to a successful 2014-2015 concert tour of more than 60 dates.
As The Original High concert tour opened in early 2016, Adam Lambert included a cover of Queen's classic "Another One Bites the Dust" on set lists.

The Original High Was the Great Pop Album You Missed in 2015
Adam Lambert's album The Original High was released in June 2015 to strong positive reviews. It was praised for focusing on the singer's strengths in pop and dance music. Swedish pop master Max Martin and his partner Shellback executive produced the album. However, despite the single "Ghost Town" ultimately peaking inside the top 20 at mainstream and adult pop radio, sales of the album have been disappointing compared with his first two collections.
It debuted at #3 on the album chart, but sales decreased quickly. The Original High concert tour is your chance to celebrate one of the unjustly overlooked albums of 2015.
