Later on tonight early morning I'm going to deliver my prediction on what the set list will look like on June 23rd...
Quoting myself. My setlist predictions.
I will base this on the previous tour having 27 songs...so that's what we'll go with to give it a baseline.
1. We Will Rock You (Fast) - QAL has done it before and it was a popular opener at the time
2. Tie Your Mother Down - Used to be up in the set, and I think it's a shake up
3. It's Late/Get Down Make Love - I have a feeling they are going to medleyfy the 2...much like the BBC version except I think instead of going from It's Late into GDML and back into It's Late it's just going to be It's Late til the middle where they start with GDML and end it with GDML.
4. Fat Bottomed Girls - but shorter - not the long jam version - edited down to normal length to go right into
5. Bicycle Race - on Adam's list, and a nice part of the medley
6. I'm In Love With My Car - Roger posted it as a tweet as "getting ready" for tour - fits the time as part of the medley and with RT on vox would allow Adam to get ready for:
7. Killer Queen - Adam loves performing it as does Brian
8. You're My Best Friend - I don't know why - but I think this one is coming...
9. Somebody To Love - Has become a showcase
10. Love Of My Life - OBVIOUS
11. '39 - with Roger doing I'm In Love With My Car earlier - this allows them to slip 39 back into the set
12. Under Pressure - Rog loves it
13. Spread Your Wings - slides into the power ballad of the tour - adam will rock this one. Instinct and spotify
14. Who Wants To Live Forever - adam showcase
15. Last Horizon - not going anywhere with Brian's solo
16. Guitar Solo - Not going anywhere
17. I Want It All - could work really well with a warm up duel with the full blooded chorus
18. Another One Bites The Dust - slide it back down in the set
19. Don't Stop Me Now - Will slip in and out - maybe with Break Free
20. Crazy Little Thing Called Love - HAS to be played in America
21. The Show Must Go On - I think they bring it back
22. Bohemian Rhapsody -- OBVIOUS
23. Radio Ga Ga -- OBVIOUS and they like how it follows Bo Rhap I think
24. Sheer Heart Attack - They loved opening the encore with it so why not again. Based on both Adam's spotify and my own instinct
25. We Will Rock You -- OBVIOUS
26. We Are The Champions -- OBVIOUS
28. God Save The Queen -- OBVIOUS
NOW this would be a decent set! Not quite as radically different as promised but still fun to watch. I hope it's even MORE!
This is based majorly on two things:

PLAYED AT BOTH:Stone Cold Crazy
Killer Queen
Somebody To Love
Love Of My Life
Guitar Solo
Tie Your Mother Down
Bohemian Rhapsody
We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
OK Played at Both - I think almost all will be played again. The lone doubt in my head is Stone Cold Crazy...especially as they appear to be adding Sheer Heart Attack as drumming like that might give RT a sheer heart attack.
PLAYED AT QAL ONLY AND WRITTEN PRE NOTWSeven Seas Of Rhye
I think this one bites the dust this time around to make good for new tracks.
PLAYED AT QAL AND WRITTEN POST NOTW - ie. the hits that weren't around then
Flash's Theme
The Hero
One Vision
Hammer To Fall
Another One Bites the Dust
Fat Bottomed Girls
Play The Game
Don't Stop Me Now
A Kind Of Magic
These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Under Pressure
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
I Want To Break Free
I Want It All
Who Wants To Live Forever
Last Horizon
Radio Ga Ga
OK The BIG hits get played. I put those as: Another One Bites The Dust, Fat Bottomed Girls, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Radio Ga Ga.
The other definites or near definites as far as I can see: A Kind of Magic/Days of Our Lives (I still see Rog doing these), I Want It All, Who Wants To Live Forever (Big Adam #), Under Pressure (Rog loves it), Last Horizon (Part of the Guitar Solo)
Slipped in and out: Don't Stop Me Now/Break Free (along with unlisted The Show Must Go On and Dragon Attack)
NOT PLAYED - Those I think will be skipped: Flash/The Hero, One Vision, Hammer To Fall, Play The Game
PLAYED AT NOTW BUT NOT QAL (and mostly because they were replaced by bigger hits)
We Will Rock You (Slow/Fast)
Brighton Rock
It's Late
Death On Two Legs
I'm In Love With My Car
Get Down Make Love
Millionaire Waltz
You're My Best Friend
Spread Your Wings
Liar
'39
My Melancholy Blues
White Man
Now I'm Here
Prophet's Song (Reprise)
NOT gonna make it: Prophet's Song, White Man, Liar, Death On Two Legs, Millionaire Waltz
LIKELY ADDITIONS: Spread Your Wings, Sheer Heart Attack, Get Down Make Love
QUITE POSSIBLE for Various reasons: You're My Best Friend, I'm In Love With My Car, It's Late
Too many new tracks make me slightly worried though as I still want all the hits. Unless they shorten the slower middle section...but Adam needs a bit of a vocal break too.
