Rock legend Bryan Adams is adding South Africa to his globe-trotting Roll With The Punches world tour, with shows announced for Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban in April 2026.
Adams is evidently a man who loves life on the road: this tour kicked off worldwide earlier in 2025 and follows his three-year ‘So Happy It Hurts’ concert series that took him across North America, Europe and Asia.
And it’s with good reason that the world can’t get enough of Adams on stage. Four decades into his career, Adams is a Grammy-award winner with #1 hits in more than 40 countries, alongside 18 JUNO Awards and Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
His new South Africa dates – and the world tour – come on the back of his 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches, the first to be released on his own indie label, Bad Records.
It’s an album packed with big-chorus arena-rockers and slow-burn ballads, and the record has already spun off radio-singles like ‘A Little More Understanding’, ‘Make Up Your Mind’ and ‘Never Ever Let You Go’.
