Lambert, 42, will lead the talent at the show, which will be held at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on March 2, following the parade.

The first big event will take place on Sunday 18th February, where the community will celebrate in Victoria Park in Broadway.
Lambert was a finalist on American Idol in 2009 and has since forged a wildly successful career as frontman for Queen + Adam Lambert.
During his trip to Australia last year, Lambert revealed the style of music he will never perform.
Speaking to Today’s entertainment reporter Brooke Boney in March, he was asked if there are any songs that are stylistically too out-there for him.
Adam, who was in Australia to promote his fifth studio album High Drama, said he doesn’t think he can pull off heavy metal and contemporary R&B.

This is despite the fact he performed the Metallica song Enter Sandman during a Halloween concert in 2022.
Speaking of his new album of covers, Adam also said the recording process was a ‘challenge’.
‘I love making music, and with this project it was so fun to get into the studio and have a challenge,’ he said.
‘We took songs that were already written and figured out ways to completely overhaul them.’
