The 2009 “American Idol” runner up Adam Lambert announced the dates for his upcoming tour. 

Lambert’s “Glam Nation Tour” will kick off June 4 in Pennsylvania and it will conclude Sept. 18 in St. Petersburg, Florida. 

Lambert finished second to Kris Allen during season eight of “American Idol.”  He receives more attention than anyone else from that season partly due to his ability to create controversy and attract camera attention.

He ignited a firestorm when he gave a graphic and lewd performance last year at the American Music Awards.  The tour dates are posted below.  The opening act will be rock singer Orianthi.
