Adam Lambert and Brian May Announce 2026 Tour ‘One Last Ride’ — A Soul-Stirring Revival That Breathes New Life into the Spirit of Queen

In a thrilling announcement that has fans around the world buzzing, Adam Lambert and Queen’s legendary guitarist Brian May have confirmed their plans for the 2026 tour, titled “One Last Ride.” This tour promises to be a soul-stirring revival, a final chapter in a musical journey that has captivated millions and breathed new life into the spirit of Queen. With a mix of nostalgia, love, and passion for rock ‘n’ roll, One Last Ride will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about musical events of the year.

The iconic band, which had already conquered the world stage with unforgettable performances for decades, had a new resurgence in the form of Adam Lambert, who joined Queen in 2011 as their frontman. Since then, Adam has seamlessly infused his dynamic vocals and stage presence into Queen’s timeless music, earning the admiration of both longtime fans and new generations alike. This upcoming tour, however, promises to be different—this is the final ride, a tribute to their combined legacy, and a celebration of music that will never fade.

For Brian May, this tour is a poignant reflection of a career that began more than 50 years ago. Queen has been a staple of rock history since the early ‘70s, with Brian’s virtuosic guitar work and Freddie Mercury’s unmatched vocal ability catapulting them to worldwide fame. While the band’s original lineup with Freddie Mercury tragically came to an end in 1991, Queen’s influence on music continues to reverberate through generations, from “Bohemian Rhapsody” to “We Are the Champions.” Brian, alongside drummer Roger Taylor, has been part of the group’s rebirth with Adam Lambert, bringing Queen’s music into the modern era.

“This will be our final tour together, and we couldn’t think of a better way to honor Freddie and the legacy we’ve built with our fans,” Brian May shared in a statement. “This tour is about bringing new life into the spirit of Queen, the music, and the joy that it has given all of us over the years. It’s our way of saying thank you for the love and support we’ve received.”

For Adam Lambert, One Last Ride is a chance to pay tribute to the incredible legacy of Queen while continuing to make the music his own. As the band’s frontman for over a decade, Adam has made Queen’s catalog his own, merging his powerful voice with Freddie Mercury’s unforgettable melodies in a way that feels fresh, but also rooted in tradition. Adam’s ability to channel Freddie’s spirit while adding his own flavor has made his partnership with Brian May and Roger Taylor a resounding success.

“It’s been an incredible honor to sing with Queen over the years, and I am so proud to continue Freddie’s legacy,” Adam said, his voice filled with gratitude. “But this tour is special. It’s about celebrating everything Queen has been, and everything we are now. It’s a final thank-you to all of the fans who’ve supported us.”

The One Last Ride tour will showcase some of Queen’s most beloved hits, including “Somebody to Love,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Under Pressure,” and, of course, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” But Adam, Brian, and the band aren’t stopping at the classics. They are also preparing new renditions, blending old favorites with a fresh twist, and they promise surprises that will bring new excitement to Queen’s most iconic tracks.

One highlight of the tour will undoubtedly be the collaboration between Adam and Brian, two musicians whose passion for music and performance have shaped the modern live music experience. Whether it’s Adam’s awe-inspiring high notes or Brian’s masterful guitar solos, their dynamic synergy on stage is something to behold. The fans who have witnessed this partnership have always left with a sense of awe, and the One Last Ride tour will no doubt amplify that energy to new heights.

Though Queen’s music will always have a special place in history, it’s evident that Adam, Brian, and the band have successfully continued to reignite that spirit in the modern era. This final tour will undoubtedly be an emotional journey, filled with moments of joy, reflection, and nostalgia. For Queen fans who have followed the band’s journey through decades of transformation, this will be a chance to witness the magic of Queen once again—one last time.

The One Last Ride tour isn’t just about saying goodbye. It’s about celebrating Queen’s impact on music, culture, and generations of fans. It’s about reliving the incredible music that has stood the test of time, and experiencing the power of live music in a way that only Adam Lambert and Brian May can deliver. Fans across the world are gearing up for this historic event, and the anticipation is building as the first tour dates are revealed.

“We want to leave everything we have out there,” said Adam. “This is our final gift to our fans, and it’s going to be an unforgettable ride.”

With the One Last Ride tour, Adam Lambert and Brian May are not just closing a chapter—they are opening a new one, filled with love, energy, and rock ‘n’ roll. This tour will be a moment for fans to relive their favorite Queen moments, create new memories, and bid farewell to an era that has meant so much to so many.

As the countdown to the tour begins, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: this final ride will be the experience of a lifetime. For the fans, the music, and the memories, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
