From his first concerts in Australia in 1984, Adams is a long-time live favorite Down Under. No stranger to being on the road, he is one of the best-loved performers of the last four decades, achieving a string of No. 1 hits in over 40 countries.
With many an accolade, Adams is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Rock Performance with 16 nominations, not to mention nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globes, American Music Awards, and a Companion of the Order of Canada. He has duetted with icons Tina Turner, Sting, Rod Stewart, and Mel C.
Joining Adams as a guest on all shows – and his first time performing in Australia/New Zealand – is English singer and songwriter James Arthur. One of the world’s biggest streaming artists, Arthur has over 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, and recently scored the No. 1 spot on the UK Album charts with the 2024 release Bitter Sweet Love.
Currently on tour in Europe, in August Bryan Adams launched Bad Records, his independent label, releasing a limited edition double A-side 7-inch, digital single and video of two songs “Rock And Roll Hell” and “War Machine.” These songs were originally written by Adams, Jim Vallance, and Gene Simmons for Kiss’ 1982 album Creatures of the Night. In 2023, Adams re-recorded some of his biggest songs with a double album Classics, he later released a three-album box set from his residency at The Royal Albert Hall. He released his 16th studio album, So Happy It Hurts, in 2022. Adams is also famous for venturing into the world of musical theatre, co-writing the songs for Pretty Woman: The Musical in 2018.
