The man with the soaring voice Adam Lambert has announced he’s set to play a few shows in Australia at the beginning of 2016.
Fresh off the release of his third album The Original High, Lambert has unveiled tour dates for Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
The last time the former American Idol runner-up was touring the country it was with Queen. He’s been touring around the world with the legendary group as their vocalist for much of the past two years and Brian May even features on his latest album.
As well as that, he bagged a hit as the singer on Avicii’s Lay Me Down and has scaled the charts here with his latest single Ghost Town.
His tour may still be a while off but we actually don’t have to wait that long to see Lambert down-under. He’s taking to The Voice stage on Sunday night to perform.
Check out all the ticket details for his tour below:

Metro Hotel on Pitt helping at Sydney Homeless Connect
Every month, Metro Hotel on Pitt is committed to giving back to the community by helping charities and joining worthy local causes. Spearheaded by General Manager Simon Wanstall and supported by our amazing staff, our latest project was volunteering at Sydney Homeless Connect.
Sydney Homeless Connect is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation that connects people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with the services and support they need to improve their situation and get them into accommodation. The work that we do continues throughout the year, but culminates in an annual one-day event held at Sydney's Town Hall each July where Sydney’s most disadvantaged citizens - our guests - can come and be connected with community and government services that can give them the support, guidance and information they need. In addition to being introduced to housing, health, employment, social, financial and legal services, they are also be treated to a hot hearty lunch, given medical and dental attention, offered new clothes, a haircut, a massage, and more – all for free. On the day itself, we connect around 3000 guests and volunteers with one another in an atmosphere of joy and mutual respect.
Duties of our volunteer job: Chaperones are key to this event. Connecting with guests for the morning volunteer timeslot by directing them to the service providers they need to access, having a coffee with guests and providing a connection. Chaperones should make themselves familiar with the range of service providers at Sydney Homeless Connect, so that they can be most helpful. Whenever possible, escort patrons personally around the event.
How Metro Hotel on Pitt is giving back to the community
What we have done so far in 2015:
March: Earth Hour – all public spaces candle lit and all energy savings in place that day, encouraged guests to do so also.
April: ANZAC day – supported Legacy Sydney with sales of coffee/tea during the march that raised over $700 https://legacy.everydayhero.com/au/metro-hotel-on-pitt We also offered 10 cents tea and coffee to war veterans.
