Queen and Adam Lambert announced a 19-date summer tour of North America on Thursday, and the group are now sharing some video of their press conference at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Shows begin June 19 in Chicago and wrap July 20 in Washington, D.C.

Queen have previously toured Europe with Lambert, the former American Idol contestant, and played the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas last fall, but the 2014 run will give many fans their first chance to see the band for the first time.

Things have come full circle for Lambert, who auditioned for American Idol five years ago by singing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You."

Tickets for the Queen + Adam Lambert tour will go on sale beginning Friday, March 14 through the Live Nation mobile app and at Livenation.com.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Monday, March 10 at 10am local time in the USA and Tuesday March 11th at 10am local time in Canada.
