Adam Lambert fronting Queen is disgraceful indeed, but it shouldn't keep us from guessing the setlist. As it happens, I dreamt of the Queen+AL setlist last night (not that it makes me proud).
In my dreams the setlist included :
Under Pressure
You're My Best Friend
Don't Stop Me Now
Who Wants To Live Forever
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Love Of My Life
Bicycle Race.
Seven Seas Of Rhye
I think it's not too far fetched for a setlist seen in a dream.
Then you have the Queen+ sure things:
Guitar Solo
I'm In Love With My Car
The Show Must Go On
WWRY
WATC
Bohemian Rhapsody with Freddie footage (confirmed)
Tie Your Mother Down
Radio Ga Ga
Another One Bites The Dust
A Kind Of Magic
And then possibly:
Somebody To Love
I Want To Break Free
It's A Hard Life
Killer Queen
One Vision
Long shots:
The Miracle
Flash
Time For Miracles (aargh)
My requests when they asked for them on queenonline:
Innuendo
Death On Two Legs (Dedicated to......
The Miracle
Somebody To Love
Flick Of The Wrist
In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited
Headlong
It's A Hard Life
Killer Queen
Who Wants To Live Forever
Ride The Wild Wind (Roger vocals)
Sail Away Sweet Sister (Brian vocals)
What do you think?
Speculation is just that, speculation.
Yes they will play the hits but just maybe they might dig deeper. I think Adam Lambert will be a lot more open to trying different things and less likely to stamp his feet than Paul Rodgers.
They asked for suggestions and a lot of those focussed on older album tracks, so you could argue that they would be stupid not to play some of those.
EMA do-over:
TSMGO
WWRY
WATC
There's bound to be a lot of crossover with QE on the hit songs, so if they do some lesser-known songs, I hope they pick different ones than QE. I'll throw out Nevermore, A Winter's Tale, Princes of the Universe.
Flash, Hammer to Fall and Keep Yourself Alive are surprising omissions on the QE setlist, so maybe Q+AL will do those. Innuendo would be cool to see live but maybe it's too long?
If they're doing BoRhap, I would be surprised if they do it the "traditional" way and use a recording for the middle part, because it would be odd if the tribute band is doing the full song but the real Queen isn't. So maybe they'll bring in extra backup singers or change the arrangement so they can play it live.
My personal opinion is that they're going to play straight through Queen and Queen II and maybe throw Bo Rhap somewhere in there or something.
Just kidding

Probably not, but it's still officially confirmed so that's something worth mentioning. I'll be surprised if they do more than a couple 'obscure' songs - and obscure can mean '39 and In Love With My Car in my opinion
My opinion is they will play the same old boring greatest hits incl (maybe) under pressure.
The surprises will be little short intro's of Long away and probably White man. You really have to buy your tickets now. Don't miss it !!!
Apart from the usual stuff...id like to here these tracks...
Adam Vocals on these tracks.
Killer Queen,
Now im here,
I want to break free,
These are the days of our lives,
Brian on these tracks.
We believe,
Headlong,
Too much love will kill you,
Who wants to live forever,
Roger on these tracks.
Radio Ga Ga,
Heaven for everyone,
Im in love with my car,
All on these tracks.
Let me live,
No one but you.
No one but you should defo be played its about time we heard it i think i should run just before We are the champions.. And the opening track should be Now Im here....It is Hammersmith....
Set list maybe....
Now im here,
Headlong,
Tie your mother down,
Seven seas of rhye,
Killer Queen,
Under pressure,
A kind of magic,
I want to break free,
These are the days of our lives,
Heaven for everyone,
Who wants to live forever,
'39,
Im in love with my car,
Too much love will kill you,
We believe,

Crazy little thing called love,
Fat bottomed girls,
Another one bites the dust,
Hammer to fall,
Radio Ga Ga,
The show must go on,
Bohemian Rhapsody,
No one but you,

We are the champions,
In the lap of the gods,
God save the Queen.
So so far we have:
- Another One Bites The Dust
- Fat Bottomed Girls
- Who Wants To Live Forever
- We Will Rock You
- Under Pressure (Roger and Adam)
- Love Of My Life (Brian with video of Freddie at the end)
I think Adam Lambert will surprise us with some classics like
Its Raining Men
Don't let your son go down on me
Candle in the bum
Boys Say Go!
And maybe one of his own craptastic songs :)
I'm just being hopeful of course...nothing confirmed.
If he really wanted to do a FM tribute he's sing "spread your legs"

No-One But You has been played many times. Brian did it pretty much every night on the Another World tour, and Roger & John did it at the Amsterdam show in 2002 among others I think.
Here's the set list. Songs sung by AL unless otherwise noted.
- Flash Gordon, Seven Seas, Keep Yourself Alive (medley)
- We Will Rock You (fast)
- Fat Bottomed Girls
- Don't Stop Me Now
- Under Pressure (Roger & Adam)
- I Want It All
- Who Wants To Live Forever
- A Kind of Magic (Roger)
- Days Of Our Lives (Roger)
- Love Of My Life (Brian with a clip of Freddie at the end)
- 39 (Roger & Brian)
- Dragon Attack
- Drum solo (duet?) with Rufus
- Guitar solo (Brian)
- I Want To Break Free
- Another One Bites The Dust
- Radio Ga Ga
- Somebody To Love
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- The Show Must Go On
- Bohemian Rhapsody (the traditional way with a recording in the middle part)
Encore:
- Tie Your Mother Down (Brian)
- We Will Rock You (Adam & Victor.. somebody? A Russian singer)
- We Are The Champions
He used the double necked RS on Under Pressure I think.
Well, while this wasn't that great, I got everything I would've asked for (B&R lead vocals and some less common songs)
My predictions were reasonably good : 18 out of 26
Glad to have guessed:
Under Pressure
Don't Stop Me Now
Who Wants To Live Forever
Seven Seas Of Rhye
Somebody To Love
Flash
