'Music legends'

Geoff Ellis, head of DF Concerts said: "We are absolutely delighted to announce the addition of Queen + Adam Lambert to the TRNSMT line-up as the final headliner across the two weekends.

"As bona fide music legends, Queen + Adam Lambert's TRNSMT show promises to be a spectacular highlight in Scotland's music calendar this summer - I'm sure the atmosphere will be electric when they step on stage."

Adam Lambert first performed with original Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor on American Idol in 2009 and at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Lambert, 36, was then invited to tour with the band and fill the shoes of Freddie Mercury.
