Bryan Adams

About

Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce the return of Bryan Adams who is bringing his So Happy It Hurts Tour to Qudos Bank Arena in February 2025.

From his very first concerts in Australia in 1984, Adams is a long-time live favourite Down Under. No stranger to being on the road, he is one of the best-loved performers of the last four decades, achieving a string of #1 hits in over 40 countries. The songs are legendary: ‘Summer of ’69’, ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You’, ‘Heaven’, ‘Run To You’, Please Forgive Me’ ‘18 til I Die’ and many more. 

With many an accolade, Adams is the recipient of numerous awards, including a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance (with 16 nominations), not to mention nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globe, American Music Awards, and a Companion of the Order of Canada. He has duetted with icons Tina Turner, Sting, Rod Stewart, and Mel C.

Joining Adams as special guest on all shows – and his first time performing in AU/NZ – is English singer and songwriter James Arthur. One of the world’s biggest streaming artists, Arthur has over 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, and recently scored the #1 spot on the UK Album charts with 2024 release Bitter Sweet Love. Arthur first broke through with 2016’s ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’, officially the UK’s most streamed song that year. Other hit singles include: ‘Impossible’, ‘Can I Be Him’, ‘Sun Comes Up’, ‘Naked’, ‘Empty Space’, ‘Rewrite The Stars’, ‘Falling Like the Stars’, ‘Train Wreck’, and ‘Lasting Lover’, all certified Platinum.

Currently on tour in Europe, in August Bryan Adams launched Bad Records, his own independent label, releasing a limited edition double A-side 7”, digital single and video of two songs ‘Rock And Roll Hell’ and ‘War Machine’. These songs were originally written by Adams, Jim Vallance, and Gene Simmons for KISS’ 1982 album Creatures of the Night. In 2023, Adams re-recorded some of his biggest songs with double album “Classics”, he later released a three album box set (here) from his residency at The Royal Albert Hall. He released his 16th studio album, So Happy It Hurts, in 2022. Adams is also famous for venturing into the world of musical theatre, co-writing the songs for ‘Pretty Woman: The Musical’ in 2018.
