British rock titans Queen will take the big stage at the Circuit of Americas on Saturday during the Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix on Oct. 21. American rocker Adam Lambert, who has been performing with Queen since 2011, will lead singalongs like "We Will Rock You," "Another One Bites the Dust," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and, of course, "We Are the Champions" at the racetrack jam.
The Rhapsody tour, which includes original Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor, has been winding its way around other parts of the globe for the last few years. It is in part a tribute to late Queen singer Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 and whose life was celebrated in the Oscar-winning movie "Bohemian Rhapsody." The North American leg of the tour kicks off Oct. 4 in Baltimore.
On Friday night, Las Vegas rockers the Killers will play at the racetrack. The Killers were last in Austin in September, when they played at the Moody Center.
