Adam Lambert Summer Concert Sets Quebec Attendance Records

Official numbers released by festival organizers of the St. Jean, Quebec Hot Air Balloon Festival released this week show a boost in attendance due to a concert performed by Adam Lambert in August. Original attendance numbers placed 40-50,000 people for the concert, but the numbers released in a press release from the organization, has now said that 70-75,000 people watched the glamtastic singer take to the stage, setting a new record for attendance.

The 75,000 boost propelled the balloon festival to whopping attendance numbers of more than 400,000, “crushing to pieces” concert records set in 2009 for a concert by Canadian pop-punk rockers Simple Plan. The nine day festival featured balloons, concerts and family events. It is considered one of the most important hot air balloon festivals in the world and one of the largest events of its kind in Canada.

In 2001, the St. Jean, Quebec Hot Air Balloon Festival is scheduled for August 13-21, 2011. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert continues his Glam Nation world tour and is in the midst of visiting several Asian cities this month.
