Adam Lambert concert chronology

The Glam Nation Tour (also known as GlamNation International[1]) was the first headlining concert tour by American singer/songwriter Adam Lambert in support of his debut album, For Your Entertainment.[2] The tour included over 100 shows in North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Background

The tour was officially announced on April 28, 2010 via Lambert's website. To describe the tour, Lambert stated:[3]

"I hope the audience will be able to escape for a few hours and fall into a world full of glam, drama and excitement. I’m confident we’ve put together a show far beyond the price of the ticket. I’m looking forward to connecting with fans all across the world with this show"

Fellow American Idol alum Allison Iraheta, and Orianthi served as opening acts on select dates.[4] In July, Orianthi cancelled several appearances before announcing she was leaving the second half of the tour.[5]

On February 9, 2011, it was confirmed on Lambert's official website that a CD/DVD combo of the tour would be released on March 22, 2011.
