American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert will embark on his first solo tour this June, taking the stage to headline 19 US dates alongside fellow Idol 8 rocker Allison Iraheta and guitarist Orianthi.
Lambert, 28, will kick off his “Glam Nation Tour” in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania on June 4, RCA Records and 19 Entertainment have announced.
“I hope the audience will be able to escape for a few hours and fall into a world full of glam, drama and excitement,” Adam said in a statement Tuesday. “And I would love everyone to come away with a new appreciation for the music on my album.”
Adam’s debut album For Your Entertainment has sold over 600,000 copies since making it’s debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart (on which it peaked at No. 3) in November.
Lambert finished second to Kris Allen on the top-rated TV talent competition in 2009.
