Date: July 7, 2012 Event: Queen + Adam Lambert (Rock in Wroclaw Festival) Type: Concert Televised: Yes Venue: Municipal Stadium City: Wrocław Country: Poland |
Highlights
The Rock in Wroclaw Festival is Queen's first-ever concert in Poland.
As part of pre-event publicity, just a few days earlier (July 4), Queen held a press conference at Wrocław airport which included Adam for the first time.
The band including Adam is even more relaxed and tight than the previous two concerts. For "Dragon Attack", Adam dons an outrageous red jacket made by The Blonds (see here or here for closeup footage).[1] He also improvises on some new high notes for the song.
