"I hope the audience will be able to escape for a few hours and fall into a world full of glam, drama and excitement," Lambert said in a statement, "... and I would love everyone to come away with a new appreciation for the music on my album."
Fellow "American Idol" season 8 alum Allison Iraheta and guitarist/singer Orianthi will open on all dates of Lambert's GLAM NATION TOUR. "I am such a fan of Allison's music and I am so excited for her to perform it live in front of an audience," says Adam of Iraheta. "She is pure rock and roll." Of Orianthi, Lambert adds, "she is a killer guitarist and a great vocalist. I'm so excited to be sharing the stage with her."
Lambert's post-"Idol" debut album, "For Your Entertainment," has sold 605,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His second single, the Pink and Max Martin-penned ballad "Whataya Want from Me," entered the top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart recently on the heels of his mentoring stint and performance on "American Idol" this past season.
Adam Lambert will be at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on Sunday September 19, 2010.
