Bryan Adams Returns to UK Stages This December

If you’ve ever felt the electric thrill of a Bryan Adams concert, you know there’s nothing quite like it.

The ‘Roll With The Punches’ tour has already swept through nine UK dates this May, kicking off at Utilita Arena in Newcastle and wrapping up at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham. Fans have soaked up his iconic vocals and timeless melodies, and now, with December dates announced, the energy is about to surge again.

A Look Back at the Tour So Far

What’s been especially thrilling for fans is how Bryan Adams has melded his classic hits with fresh tracks from his 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches. This album marked a milestone, debuting at number three on the Official UK Albums Chart, and is the artist's first release on his own label, Bad Records—founded just last August. It’s a new chapter for Bryan, and you can feel the passion in every song.

In addition to the tour dates, Adams has been keeping busy with live festival appearances. Remember the magic at Radio 2 In The Park earlier this year? He also rocked Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus in August alongside Mel C, his collaborator on the hit “When You’re Gone.” These moments reminded fans of why Bryan Adams’ live shows remain unforgettable.

Here’s a gem from his Radio 2 In The Park set that captures that raw energy:

The Guitar That Sparked a Legend

As a fan, I love these behind-the-scenes stories that peel back the curtain on Bryan Adams’ journey. Recently, he shared the fascinating tale behind his “first real six-string” guitar—immortalized in the anthem Summer of ’69. Contrary to popular belief, the guitar wasn’t snagged at a “five and dime” store, but rather at a music shop in Reading back in 1970, when a young Bryan was just 12 years old.

Here’s a nostalgic twist: during a year living in Israel with his father, who was stationed at the Canadian embassy, Adams left that very guitar behind when he moved back to Canada. It’s incredible how such stories weave into the fabric of his music and identity.

Tour Bumps and Unforgettable Moments

Touring life is never without its dramas. Earlier this year in Australia, one of Bryan Adams’ gigs was unexpectedly halted thanks to a rather unusual culprit—a massive sewer blockage caused by “fat, grease and rags.” While this may sound like a bizarre plot twist, it’s just another quirky chapter in the life of a tireless performer who never lets anything dampen his spirit.

Why You Should Catch Bryan Adams Live

There’s something magnetic about Bryan Adams’ live shows—maybe it’s the gravelly charm, the singalong anthems, or the sheer passion pouring from the stage. With his December 2025 UK tour dates now announced, fans have a golden opportunity to experience the man behind the hits like Run To You, Summer of ’69, and the fresh sounds of Roll With The Punches.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his music, these arena shows promise an evening of rock ’n’ roll nostalgia blended with vibrant new energy.
