Queen and Adam Lambert to headline Rock in Rio Lisboa 2016

Queen and Adam Lambert will headline next year's Rock in Rio Lisboa event.

The band will perform at the Portugal event on May 20.

Tickets will go on sale from January 26, with a pre-sale opening on November 20.

It will be the first time Lambert has performed in Portugal, and only the second time Queen have played in the country.

The show will mark 30 years since Queen performed an iconic set at the Rock in Rio festival.

Rock in Rio president and founder Roberto Medina said: 

"30 years ago, Queen performed in front of 250,000 and Freddie Mercury conducted a chorus of people singing to 'Love of My Life'.

"It became one of the most iconic moments of Rock in Rio and of music history.

"We’re thrilled to have Queen + Adam Lambert perform in Lisbon, we’re certain it will once again be a moment no one will ever forget."

The news came on the same day Queen and Adam Lambert were confirmed to appear at the Sweden Rock Festival next year.

The event is taking place between June 8-11.
