Adam Lambert, after selling out in markets across the country, has expanded his summer concert plans. The former runner-up of “American Idol” has added over two dozen dates to his “Glam Nation Tour” since May when onsales started. The entire concert count is now almost 70.

Some of the new dates added to Lambert’s calendar include shows in Nashville, TN at Ryman Auditorium on July 7; in Providence RI at the Lupo Heartbreak Hotel on August 17; in Indianapolis, IN at the Clowes Memorial Hall on August 31; and in Atlanta, GA at the Woodruff Arts Center on September 14.

Officially “Glam Nation Tour” launched in June. It is almost ten dates into the run. The tour of Lambert’s includes support from Allison Iraheta, fellow alum from “Idol” and Orianthi. The outing continues in Hammond, IN at the Horseshoe Casino on June 17.

Over the weekend of June 18-19 public onsales will start for the new tour dates. Many of the tour’s earlier dates are already available. A majority of ticket faces values range from $30 to $40, however according to Ticketmaster.com some market prices go as high as $60.

In several markets the summer tour of Lambert’s has proven to be quite successful. According to reports from the venues, among the several sold-out shows are in Baltimore MD at Rams Head Live on June 27; in Knoxville, TN at Tennessee Theatre on July 6; and in St. Louis, MO at The Pageant on August 8.

The selling power of “Glam Nation Tour” also has proven itself in some of the large U.S. markets, in particular a sell-out on June 22 in New York City at Nokia Theatre. The singer added an extra show for June 23 and it sold out very quickly as well. Out West, a July 23 sold out show in San Francisco at Warfield Theatre resulted in a second show being added for July 25, which also sold out.

Lambert, in a recent USA Today interview, credited the success of his tour to the connection he makes with his audience and his fans’ dedication, who have followed Lambert ever since “American Idol’s” 2009 season.

Lambert said, for this tour I have really focused on the performance’s spiritual quality. When you really are connected with your audience something very special happens. My fans are very passionate and dedicated with what I do. The show was built for my fans.
