The multi platinum-selling Canadian rocker
For most people, a No.1 hit like (Everything I Do) I Do It For You would define their entire career. For Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, it’s possibly not even his most popular song.
Pre-worldwide chart domination with the theme song from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Adams was already a stadium-packing megastar, no small thanks to a string of radio-friendly hits including Run To You, Heaven and Summer Of ’69.
Adams got his start as a 15-year-old, fronting the Canadian rock band Sweeney Todd. Following his departure from the band, he formed a songwriting partnership with former Prism drummer Jim Vallance, leading to his self-titled debut in early 1980. You Want It You Got It followed a year later and saw Adams begin to make a dent on the charts.
That progress was solidified in some style in 1983 with Cuts Like A Knife, bagging Adams his first top ten hit in the US with Straight From The Heart. A year later, Adams topped the album charts in both Canada and the US with his fourth solo album Reckless, egged on by a string of high charting singles, including the No.1 Heaven and two further top ten hits in Run To You and Summer Of ’69. Reckless also featured It’s Only Love, a duet with Tina Turner that was nominated for a Grammy.
Adams’ purple patch continued with Into The Fire, which again charted highly at home and abroad and yielded another top ten single in Heat Of The Night.
All of this would pale in comparison to the Adams’ flying start to the next decade, particularly (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, the first single taken from his 1991 album Waking Up The Neighbours. Thanks to its prominence in the hit film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, the single was a resounding success, hitting No.1 across the world and staying atop the UK charts for a record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks.
Adams would find himself back at the top of the charts not long after with yet another theme song from a film: All For One, a collaboration with Sting and Rod Stewart taken from the film The Three Musketeers. Adams’ status as the flavour of the week for movie songs earned him yet another hit single in 1995’s Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? from Don Juan De Marco.
After a five-year gap between albums, Adams returned with 1996’s 18 Til I Die. While the album didn’t yield any hits on the scale of its predecessor, Adams was back near the top of the charts in 1998 with When You’re Gone, a duet with former Spice Girl Melanie C.
The new millennium found Adams still a reliable draw at home and abroad, scoring three No.1 albums in Canada and two No.2 albums in the UK. Following the covers album, Tracks Of My Tears, and the Jeff Lynne-produced Get Up, Adams released Shine A Light, his 14th studio album, in 2019, followed by So Happy It Hurts in 2022, which topped the UK Independent Album Charts and earned a Grammy nomination for its lead single.
In 2024, Adams announced a new album and a new world tour, bringing Roll With The Punches to UK arenas in May 2025.
Backed by a three-piece band and an army of hits, at his Glasgow OVO show, the Canadian rocker makes sure everyone leaves happy
With the Roll With The Punches tour on the horizon for 2025, we run through the best songs from Canada's biggest rock export
Bryan Adams has announced UK tour dates for May 2025
Honestly one of the best live acts I've seen in my life, and I've seen a lot. Bryan and his band just keep getting better as the years go on! 5* would recommend to anyone! Can't wait for May '25!
Bryan Adams was great - nuff said Completely missed the support acts due to the 1hour 45 minute queue to get parked. getting out was just as bad - almost 2 hours from the car park to the road meant that we didn't get home until 2.30 am when it was already starting to get light. Never going to a gig in the forest again
Super concert, music was fabulous, venue perfect, a wonderful evening.
Wonderful show would recommend everyone to go see. Best one yet.
Bryan Adams was superb, his voice is as good as always. My only criticism was the time taken to get into the venue.. in addition to bag checks the staff now use a body scanner which they use to cover your whole body. Whilst I am in favour of the extra security check, the whole process took a lot of time, we joined the queue outside the Piece Hall in Halifax at 7.30pm and entered the venue at 8.20pm We completely missed the supporting act but thoroughly enjoyed Bryan Adam's who came on stage at 9pm. I suggest extra & more efficient are employed at Halifax as it is proving to be a most popular venue for top music acts. I must add that once inside we found the staff were most helpful & polite and the facilities were excellent.
a great night was had by all the piece hall.perfect venue everything went smooth entering the venue i.e security,ticketing and ease of access for facilities.Bryan Adams was fantastic live.
Absolutely Excellent, Fabulous concert, Bryan Adams Sounded Fantastic, his Back screen/video's of his Own & Of his Performance within the Piece Hall was Superb!! Atmosphere Great, Just Top Class & Hope he Enjoyed it as much as We Did! 🎤🎸👍🏼
First and definitely not my last gig at Halifax Pice Hall What an amazing setting for Bryan Adam's to perform in and what a truly awesome performance thank you The staff at the gig where extremely helpful and professional will definitely be on the look out for future events
What a guy Absolutely fantastic Played all the hits and more Can't fault this guy All the crowd were loving it Fantastic atmosphere Didn't want it to end Brilliant Venue
Absolutely excellent entertainment, thrilling, emotional and such an amazing professional bunch of master musicians.
Bryan Adams was fantastic. Loved every minute. Voice was amazing as was his stage presence. The Piece Hall as a venue was BRILLIANT. No better place in the uk for a music event. Very very atmospheric especially when the sun went down. Felt like Bryan did not want to leave the stage and no one wanted him to leave. Please come back xxx
What an amazing performance by Bryan Adams. I've been wanting to see him since 1985 so finally got to see him. The Piece Hall is a fantastic venue, it was beautiful weather, amazing people and a fantastic atmosphere.
We spent well over 90 minutes at a snail pace crawling through the forest once we had got through the main barrier...which meant we .missed the support acts which was very disappointing. Thankfully did get to see Bryan Adams who was absolutely fantastic, just left bit of a sour taste that it took FAR TOO LONG to get into the car park. Its not as if events haven't been held before in Dalby ... come on get it organised!!
The piece Hall was a fantastic location to host Bryan Adams in concert. What a show. He can still sing and play like a rock god and the band were amazing. He really interacted with the audience who clearly loved every minute. What a show. What a venue.
Fabulous location and brilliant show. Weather was onside, so made for an even better evening!
The Piece Hall Halifax is a fantastic venue for a concert, and Brian Adams certainly didn't disappoint! From purchasing the tickets to arriving at the venue everything went very smoothly. The support acts were great and Brian was just the icing on the cake! I would definitely see him again as would my husband who wasn't that bothered about attending initially!
I first saw Bryan Adams at the Ashton Metro in 1983. There were less than 100 people there and I think they had considered cancelling. They didn't, thank goodness, and he put on a fantastic show. 40 years later, in another unfamiliar venue (to me) he repeated the trick with the highlights being Heaven, Summer of 69 and When You're Gone together with his Tina Turner tribute. The crowd loved it, singing along all the way through and everybody went home happy!
Wow what a true all round performance had everyone in the palm of his hand Talent never grows old what a song set brilliant
Enjoyable evening with great music. Bryan Adams showed how entertaining he is and how he can keep a crowd dancing and singing along to all his classic songs.
First time gig at the Piece hall. Will defo not be my last. Everything was perfect. The staff on the gates and bars were efficient and friendly. Great event. Brian Adam's is just the best. He is a great showman, entertainer. This will be my 4th time seeing him, won't be my last. Thank you Piece Hall and Brian Adam's. What a great way to spend a sunny Sunday.
