Adam Lambert has been confirmed to perform at a fundraiser concert to benefit Marylanders for Marriage Equality, the group working to uphold a gay marriage law approved by lawmakers.

The concert will be held on September 25, 2012 at the 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C.

“JUST ANNOUNCED! A benefit for Marriage Equality feat. @AdamLambert on 9/25! Tix on sale Fri 10AM!” the 9:30 Club tweeted.

“Marriage equality is about treating everyone as equals, regardless of who they fall in love with,” Lambert said in a statement. “I'm honored to appear at this event to help do whatever I can to bring notice to a cause that is close to my heart.”

Josh Levin, campaign manager for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, thanked Lambert for his support.

“As the campaign enters the final weeks, we're thrilled to have Adam Lambert's support of Question 6 in Maryland,” Levin said.

Tickets, which start at $125 and go up to $250, go on sale Friday through Ticketfly.com or at the 9:30 Club.

Tickets only $125 to $250? I guess the $50,000.00 a pop Republicans who were at Mitt's party won't be showing up. Seems strange, it's easy to draw a crowd who want to exclude part of the nation but not to include everyone in equal rights.

I would sure rather listen to Adam than Mitt (I've heard him sing) :(

@1:21 - there are many of us Mitt and his party want to exclude. Very scary. BTW, I pay a lot of taxes and like most of us pay at a much higher tax rate than him at his measy 13%. . . . Adamluv

I think it's a same that a country as great as ours still doesn't grant equal rights to all its citizens. My daughter's life long best friend is gay , he and his partner have been together for 15 years they want so much to be married. They are an amazing couple. We were talking the other day and I ask if they had considered going somewhere else to get married since the chance of same sex marriage being legalized in the middle of the good old bible belt is about as likely as me supporting Romney. They said they had thought about it , but straight couples had the right to marry anywhere, they don't have to leave their home, friends and family to marry. I thought how hard it must be to deal with that kind of discrimination . I hope so much for change for my friends, for Adam and for everyone in this fight. Glad to hear Adam is lending his talent to this project , I think he has done more than we will ever know to open people 's minds about what beauty and love are all about...rose petal

Outlaws of Love would be beautiful to sing at this benefit.

Adam m.Lambert is such an amaizing man. He is also an amaizing talent, best I have ever seen in my 64 years! I do admire his, talent and his openness, as some I have heard call baggage, I do not think being gay is baggage, it just who Adam is and there are many more like them, some maybe not so courageous, entertainers, I do admire him for who he is, and all he had brought to so many of our lives! I wish him so much success in his future because he so deserves it!

It's worthy to be called as one of the craziest and hardcore fan of my Rock God!!:)

No one in his generation can do what he endured before he is known as the GLOBAL SUPERSTAR!!!!

HE IS THE INSPIRATION OF ANY GENDER:)

I expect Adam's activism in these these issues will increase over time. I kind of hope so, because it will increase his visibility. He's an articulate and intelligent spokesman as well as a singer. He would be a wonderful representative for a number of social issues. Hope we get some video of his performance at this event!!

I 100% agree with you Rose Petal..its just that the equality issue is being fought over in the upcoming election..if this world were a little more perfect, it wouldn't even be a consideration..as ALL people, regardless of race, creed, orientation, etc., deserve equal rights...I would imagine that the posters on this site would agree with this..it is just fundamental..Now, here I go spouting out a political rant.. :(

Dear 3:36
I live in the surroundings area of DC (Rockville, MD, to be exact) and plan to go to Club 30 to see and support Adam. I also intend to buy the premium Meet&Greet ticket and would love to have a friendly Glambert to go with! Please let me know if you're going so that we can meet! I am a true fan for Adam's and would like to meet my fellow Glamberts in this area! Vanessa

Anon2:11 - Soooo agree that Adam should sing 'Outlaws of Love'! It would be perfect. I'm guessing Adam has already considered this - hope so.

@3:03 - I saw no political "rant" from posters above. Simply the truth said in a very calm and respectful way. @daydreamin - saw that info. re: Kris being dropped. Dont believe for a minute that the awful food chain has changed their stripes. Believe they will continue to contribute to anti-gay hate groups since it is done under the guise of religion. . . .

daydreamin I got a little nervous when you said Perez Hilton tweeted to Adam and Adam tweeted him back @5:10.

Anonymous said...

I hope Kris did not lose his label contract. That makes me nervous for Adam somehow, he has to do good internationally not just the US. I wish the best for Kris.

HK fan said...

@daydreamin
yep its true that KA has been dropped.

#I wanted to let everyone know that RCA and I have decided to split ways. I thank them so much for everything that they did for me. There are so many people there that contributed to my becoming the artist that I am and I will miss them all.. In saying that, I am really excited about what is ahead. The path has never been clearer to me. I love what I do and I will never stop. So, to my amazing fans, thank you so much for everything so far but things are only gonna get more fun. I promise.

7:28 I think it would be diverse, many people support the Lgbt.Go ,so you can come back and tell us all about it. HeHeee

daydreamin said...

@Adamluv I can only hope (eternal optomist) but I'm sure you are right. They will just hide the fact much better.

anon 7:21 haha thanks for catching my boo boo! Oh well, not a fan of either really.

Thanks Hk fan. I join anon 7:26 and wish Kris well and wouldn't be surprised if he will be moving to another label.

7:04 I was going to answer you but you don't have a cute avatar. Just kidding. There has been no news when they are adding TP to radios so the word is no requesting yet. We have voted on a few stations with TP on a request line.

I think this is Kelly Clarksons year. I would be surprised if she doesnt get a few grammys. She has several hits that are played on the radio a lot.

So much on this thread! Voted for SNL for Adam. So excited about the China gig, etc. Too bad for Kris. He's s nice guy, but my efforts are with Adam. Even without a mega-hit in the U.S., Adam seems to be doing well internatinally. His world-wide sales will be an incredible asset to his sales. It may take a while for the U.S. to wake the hell up.
Can't wait to start really requesting TP. Been voting for it where I can. Hope we get some video from China!

I wish kris well, think he will have a career has a song writer, or whatever I wish him well. But,please there no comparison between Adam and Keis, he done way, way better than Kris. He doing quite well internationally,this china news is wonderful, him being on china the voice. Huge following, he will sale many albums after this in china. The song will probably shoot to1 on I tunes, I assume it will be on I tunes china by then and released to radio. The only place Adam may need a boost is America and that coming! I do think some tv coming but pLL will really help. Adam sold more his first week here I pretty sure than kris has period, with new album. But he sold good, good abroad, he a world wife star, RcA knows Adam is still a young star and growing. Not being mean at all but Ad has more potential and talent, wayire than kris. So do not be nervous. You make other people feel bad. I do wish kris well he a nice guy. Adam is doing fine. Just needs a little boost USA, I sure hope trespassing does or the song because it's famtadtic! U worry about Adam sales but kris did not sale a fraction og even what he sold in USA not to even mention abroad, saling well. This china thing is great news, spells big sales there!

Don't usually check MJs blog but was looking for some info about the SYTYCD finale. They had a separate post about Kris Allen parting ways with RCA, so I checked out the comments. There were many about Adam, his lack of sales and concern that, if TP doesn't do well, he may also be in jeopardy. Got me upset and depressed. Sure hope this isn't the case ... :-(

This is the last actual report of US sales for Trespassing:

Hope his 3rd single is a hit!

@anon 10.35pm
There were also quite a lot defending Adam with his live performances and international sales, unfortunately MJ usually deletes most posts defending Adam and leaves the negative ones so it looks rather one sided...
