Queen guitarist Brian May confirmed Sunday on Instagram that Queen + Adam Lambert will take the stage Feb. 16 at Fire Fight Australia, a fundraiser for bushfire relief efforts.
Fire Fight Australia will be held at ANZ Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney. Comedian Celeste Barber will host the event, with Alice Cooper, k.d. lang, Olivia Newton-John and other acts to also perform.
Rolling Stone said Lang will perform two songs, including her rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
