At some point, all American Idol contestants are expected to return to the show that made them famous—and Adam Lambert is no exception.

Late last week, Season 8’s runner-up confirmed he will be appearing on the show sometime this season. His announcement came a day after both Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen performed during the first results show.

“Yes, I have been booked on Idol! Can’t reveal the date yet but it’s a ways off… So excited. Kris and Allison were awesome last night,” Adam wrote on Twitter.

Until then, Lambert also has a gig during Jay Leno’s first week back as Tonight Show host. You can see him on NBC this Tuesday, March 2.
