Bryan Adams announces ‘biggest tour in years’ with 40-date run in North America | Globalnews.ca
Canadian rocker Bryan Adams is set to embark on his “biggest tour in years” with a 40-date arena run in North America as part of his Roll With the Punches tour.
The tour, announced Wednesday, is named after his 17th studio album, which will be released in “late summer” on Adams’ own label, Bad Records.
The tour begins on Sept. 11 in Kamloops, B.C., with stops in nearly every province except Prince Edward Island, before heading south of the border to the U.S.
The tour wraps up on Nov. 26 in Minneapolis.
“I’m so thrilled to be announcing the North American leg of the Roll With The Punches Tour. We’ll be playing all the classics, some deep cuts, and sharing some brand-new tracks from the forthcoming album,” Adams said in a news release.
He will be joined by fellow Canadians The Sheepdogs in Canada, except for the Calgary and Kelowna dates, where Canadian pop-rock singer Amanda Marshall will take the stage.
