LOS ANGELES - Queen and Adam Lambert are launching a six-week North American tour following the release of the Freddie Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody." They'll play Chicago's United Center on Friday, Aug. 9.

Live Nation announced the 23-date tour Monday. It will feature original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor with Adam Lambert singing lead. It will kick off in Vancouver, British Columbia, on July 10. It will end in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 23. Other venues include Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Atlanta.

Tickets for the "Rhapsody" tour will go on sale on at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 7.

The tour follows the group's September run in Las Vegas.
