The legendary band launched the acclaimed show back in 2019, and brought it to the UK, Ireland and Europe last year. Per a press release, Queen and their frontman Lambert promised an “even more ambitious show” at the upcoming dates.

Kicking off the tour Wednesday night (October 4) at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, the iconic group began the gig with ‘Machines (Or ‘Back to Humans’) / ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘Hammer to Fall’ and ‘Another One Bites The Dust’. The group also performed ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ for the first time since 2018 and ‘Is This the World We Created…?’ for the first time ever.

The 25-song setlist included Queen’s biggest hits such as ‘I Want to Break Free’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘Somebody To Love’, ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘We are the Champions’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and more.
