Sometimes not winning “American Idol” can be the best thing to ever happen to your career. Just ask Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson or multiple Grammy Award winner Chris Daughtry. In ‘09, Adam Lambert emerged as a frontrunner in the reality signing competition early on, with his expansive range, signature glam rock style and ability to astonish with performances both quiet and loud. His emotional take on the Tears For Fears song “Mad World” became an instant classic, cementing him as one of the most talented vocalists the show had ever seen, which made it an even bigger surprise when in the finale, Kris Allen emerged as the winner with Adam Lambert in second place. Lambert also won over more fans for his performance with KISS in the American Idols finale, and Glam Nation was born.

The runner-up slot proved not to be a problem for Adam Lambert, whose penchant for eyeliner and flashy costumes have earned him the nickname Glambert. In November ‘09, he released his debut album “For Your Entertainment,” and Adam Lambert concert tickets became a hot commodity. The Adam Lambert American Music Awards performance, which drew a bit of controversy, made him even more of a household name. He also broke barriers as the first openly gay mainstream pop artist to launch a career in the U.S. on a major label. His album has included the singles “If I Had You,” “What aya Want From Me,” the title track and “Time For Miracles,” from the soundtrack to the blockbuster film “2012.”

The first big Adam Lambert concert schedule was his role in the American Idols Live tour in ‘09. He performed his first solo concert in February ‘10 in California and has since announced a North American tour. If you’re looking for tickets for a show on the Adam Lambert tour schedule, you will also get a chance to see fellow “American Idol” contestant Allison Iraheta and the band Orianthi.
