Bryan Adams bringing Roll With The Punches tour to northern Ontario

Bryan Adams adds northern Ontario dates to 'Roll With the Punches' tour, stopping in Sudbury (Aug. 31) and Sault Ste. Marie (Sept. 1) with special guest Lights.

Bryan Adams is extending his concert trek in 2026, adding 13 new dates to his Roll With The Punches Tour – including three stops in northern Ontario.

The multi-platinum singer-songwriter will bring his high-energy live show to Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay this August and September, with tickets for the new shows going on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

Adams is touring in support of his 2025 release Roll With The Punches, which has earned him a 2026 JUNO Award nomination for Rock Album of the Year. The album, Live Nation said, delivers his unmistakable blend of anthemic rock, raw guitar riffs and heartfelt songwriting, pairing punchy, hook-filled tracks with reflective moments that capture the resilience and spirit that have defined his career.

In news that ‘cuts like a knife – but it feels so right,’ new songs from the album are already finding their place alongside timeless classics like ‘Summer of ’69,’ ‘Heaven,’ ‘Run to You,’ and ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,’ with promoters promising fans a setlist that spans generations.

Joining Adams as special guest in all markets except Thunder Bay is Lights, whose genre-blurring pop sound and electrifying stage presence make for a powerful opening set.

“With decades of chart-topping hits, sold-out tours, and unforgettable live performances, Bryan Adams continues to deliver an arena-sized rock show that brings fans together across the country,” organizers said in a news release Monday.

Promoters said that the Canadian run promises unforgettable nights of new music, deep cuts, and the songs that have become part of Canada’s musical DNA.

Special VIP packages will also be available for fans looking to get right up close to the action.

The northern Ontario dates are:

• Aug. 31 in Greater Sudbury at the Sudbury Community Arena,
• Sept. 1 in Sault Ste. Marie at GFL Memorial Gardens and
• Sept. 3 in Thunder Bay at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium (with no supporting act).
