In the absence of original frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991, the band will continue their collaboration with American vocalist Adam Lambert, who won over the group in 2009, when the aspiring singer performed on talent-spotting show American Idol.

Original guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor will be taking part, although bassist John Deacon is now in retirement.

Queen's 2015 tour kicks off on 13 January in Newcastle, England.

Besides Krakow, other Central European dates include Vienna (1 February), Munich (2 February), Berlin (4 February) and Prague (17 February).

Since opening in the Spring of 2014, the Krakow Arena has hosted stars such as Elton John, while Slash, Ennio Morricone, Kate Perry Sting and Paul Simon, are booked for future concerts. (nh)
