The Salem witch trials could have ended very differently if only the accused sorceresses had Adam Lambert to hide them away. Better late than never, the powerhouse singer is offering refuge during “The Witch Hunt,” a three-night limited concert series scheduled for Halloween weekend at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.
“Halloween is my favorite time of the year and I am thrilled to celebrate it with a dark-sided trip into my repertoire,” Lambert shared in a statement. “Join our coven and seek shelter from The Witch Hunt!”
“The Witch Hunt” kicks off on Oct. 26 with additional shows on Oct. 28 and 29. General ticket sales begin on Friday, July 22 at 10 a.m. PDT via Ticketmaster. For an artist whose default setting is glammed-out camp, the slate of Halloween shows offers an opportunity for Lambert to lean even further into his usual theatrics.
The series marks Lambert’s latest solo stint as he wraps up the extensive Rhapsody world tour as the lead vocalist in Queen, set to conclude on July 25. He’s also been working on a forthcoming musical and its accompanying concept album, a sort of rock opera set in the Seventies.
“It’s about a real-life person who’s a bit obscure,” Lambert told Attitude. “Writing music for someone else’s story has been really interesting. It takes place in the 70s. I love that era. I’ll be putting out an album, linked to the musical. A concept album, where I’m performing it.”

At the time Taylor echoed these concerns, saying: “It was quite a scare. He had a real scare. It’s been strange. We were struck doubly. Our manager had a pretty major heart attack too. It’s been a very weird year for us in all kinds of ways.” As David Bowie said, ‘I embrace age’. I’m not sure he meant it.
“As we’re not getting any younger, you should start thinking about the tail end, or the September of one’s years.
“You mustn’t be afraid of talking about serious things. I don’t think anybody in their 20s thinks about that sort of thing.
“We’re all getting older and we’re going to drop off the perch. Inevitably one is forced to confront the fact. As David Bowie said, ‘I embrace age’. I’m not sure he meant it.

Since their first performance together in Kyiv in 2012, the trio has embarked on world tours that have since encompassed every continent on Earth apart from Antarctica. But of all the incredible places the band has played, one, in particular, reminds Roger Taylor of Queen’s early heydays with Freddie Mercury and John Deacon.
Roger said on the 2014 Asia tour: “Japan was fantastic. Last time we went, it was absolutely magical. That, I think, more than anywhere else felt like the old days. “That brought back the memories in particular of first going to Japan and the fantastic reaction.”
Japan has always had a huge Queen fan base. Not only is Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody one of the country’s highest-grossing movies of all time, but Queen and Adam Lambert release an exclusive live album for them.
