Bryan Adams returns to Aotearoa, bringing his electrifying Roll With The Punches world tour to Spark Arena in March 2027!
One of the most enduring and unmistakable voices in rock, Adams is a true powerhouse performer whose concerts have become a rite of passage for generations of fans and is returning in support of his 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches. After delivering 140 shows worldwide in 2025, in 2026 he’ll power through USA, Canada and Europe, all before bringing the show back Down Under next summer.
With a string of number one hits in more than 40 countries, Adams’ celebrated song catalogue reads like a playlist of modern classics: ‘Summer of ’69’, ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You’, ‘Heaven’, ‘18 Til I Die’, ‘Run To You’, ‘So Happy It Hurts’, ‘Please Forgive Me’,‘Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman’, ‘Cuts Like A Knife’, ‘When You’re Gone’ … songs that continue to ignite arenas worldwide and soundtrack countless memories.
With an arena rock show that brings fans together night after night, Adams’ latest live production follows his 2025 visit to AU/NZ, which saw sold out crowds in one of his biggest tours to date. Adams has picked up a few accolades along the way, most notably a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance (with sixteen nominations), along with three Academy Award nominations, five Golden Globe nominations, multiple American Music Awards and Junos, and the prestigious honour of Companion of the Order of Canada.
Tickets go on sale Monday 20 July, 12pm.
Joining Bryan Adams as special guest on the tour is Natalie Imbruglia. With 8× ARIA Awards, 2× Brit Awards, a Billboard Music Award and 3× GRAMMY nominations, Imbruglia stands as one of Australia’s most decorated and enduring musical exports. Her landmark 1997 debut Left of the Middle sold seven million copies worldwide and delivered the timeless hit ‘Torn’ – the most‑played song on Australian radio since 1990 and a #1 airplay smash around the globe. Five critically acclaimed albums followed, including 2021’s Firebird, which reached #10 on the UK charts. In 2026, Imbruglia ushers in a bold new era with her forthcoming studio album Algorithm, due September 4, after kicking off the year with headline shows in Mexico City in February and UK/Europe summer festival sets.
One of the world’s most loved performers, Bryan Adams’ Roll With The Punches is not to be missed… get ready for the rock show of the summer!
