BBC One is to screen a special live Queen and Adam Lambert concert featuring some Queen’s biggest hits on New Year’s Eve.

Hosted by BBC Radio One presenters Greg James and Gemma Cairney, the concert will be split into two parts spanning the capital’s world famous fireworks display which takes place along the river Thames.

Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert first toured together in 2012 and have since toured the world to huge critical acclaim.

Roger Taylor said: “I never imagined we would be around to usher in the year of 2015, what a thrill! We promise you a great night.”

Adam Lambert added: “Words can’t describe how excited I am, we are going to kick off 2015 in style!”

Last year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations, featuring Gary Barlow’s Big Ben Bash Live, were watched by a peak of almost 14 million people between 23.15 and 00.30am.

BBC One Controller Charlotte Moore said: “BBC One will be kicking off 2015 in spectacular style with an exclusive live concert from rock legends Queen and Adam Lambert, I hope you join us for a night to remember!”

Tickets will be on general release from midday on Tuesday 2nd December via See Tickets.
