Where is Bryan Adams playing in 2026?

What are the confirmed 2026 tour dates?

  • U.S. tour kicks off July 2026 in St. Louis (Live Nation event page)
  • European dates in Antwerp, Belgium (Oct 28) and Porto, Portugal (Nov 1) (Bryan Adams official tours page)

Which cities are included in the 2026 U.S. tour?

Full routing hasn’t been published yet, but Live Nation lists St. Louis as the confirmed starting point. Additional cities are expected to be announced in early 2026. Ticketmaster and Live Nation will carry the official schedule.

Are there European dates in 2026?

Yes. According to both Bryan Adams’s official site and Live Nation, shows are booked for Antwerp (Sportpaleis) and Porto (Super Bock Arena) in late October and early November 2026.

The implication: Adams is treating 2026 as a natural extension of the Roll With The Punches cycle, not a separate farewell lap.

What to watch

The 2026 European dates are limited to just two confirmed cities so far. If demand matches 2025’s pace, expect more stops to be added before the end of the year.

The catch: fans hoping for a full European tour may need to wait for additional announcements.

Is Bryan Adams going on tour in 2025?

What is the 2025 tour name?

The tour is officially called the Roll With The Punches Tour, named after his 2024 studio album. Bryan Adams’s official tours page lists separate pages for Europe, UK & Ireland, and the USA 2025 legs.

Which continents are included in the 2025 tour?

  • Europe (dates from May through November 2025)
  • UK & Ireland (Dublin, Belfast, and additional cities)
  • North America (Canada and the United States)

When does the 2025 tour start and end?

  • Canadian leg starts Sep 11, 2025 in Kamloops, BC (American Songwriter)
  • U.S. leg starts Oct 25, 2025 in Uncasville, CT and ends Nov 26, 2025 in Minneapolis, MN (Live Nation)
  • European and UK dates span from May through November 2025 (Bryan Adams official tours page)

The pattern: the North American leg acts as a bookend to the European summer run, keeping momentum alive through fall.

What is the setlist for Bryan Adams’ 2025 tour?

Does the setlist include hits like ‘Summer of ’69’?

Historically, Adams never skips his biggest radio staples. Expect “Summer of ’69,” “Run to You,” “Heaven,” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” to anchor every show. The 2024 setlists on Songkick confirm those tracks remain core.

Are there new songs from the Roll With The Punches album?

Yes. The tour is built around the 2024 album’s title track, and Adams typically rotates 2–3 new cuts into the set. Concert tracking sites suggest “Roll With the Punches” and a few deeper album tracks appear regularly.

How does the setlist change from 2024?

Adams tends to swap out one or two deep cuts between legs, but the backbone stays consistent. The European leg may feature more cuts from Roll With the Punches, while the US leg leans on classics. Official setlist updates are posted to Adams’s Facebook and website.

The trade-off

Longtime fans get a reliable hits parade, while newer listeners hoping for deep cuts may find the setlist conservative. The 2025 tour doesn’t seem designed to surprise – it’s built to satisfy.

The consequence: ticket buyers should expect a consistent show rather than a varied experience.

Who is opening for Bryan Adams on his 2025 tour?

Are there different openers for European and US shows?

  • U.S. dates: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo open every show (Wikipedia)
  • Canadian dates (most): The Sheepdogs serve as support (American Songwriter)
  • Select Canadian dates (Sep 24 Kelowna, Sep 26 Calgary): Amanda Marshall opens (Live Nation)
  • European and UK dates: Opening acts have not been officially announced for most shows. Some dates may have no opener.

Has the opening act been announced officially?

Yes, for North America. The official tour announcement via Bryan Adams’s website confirmed Benatar/Giraldo for all U.S. shows and The Sheepdogs for the Canadian run.

Where can fans find the opening act schedule?

Ticketmaster and Live Nation event pages list the opening acts for each specific date as they are confirmed.

The takeaway: North American fans are set with well-known openers, while European audiences await clarity.
