Bryan Adams announces two new shows
16 Sep 2026Responding to huge demand from fans across Australia, GRAMMY® and Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Bryan Adams today announces a second and final Sydney arena show, giving fans another chance to see the Canadian rock icon live on a Saturday night, with a new performance added at Afterpay Arena on Saturday 27 February. The announcement comes after Adams’ first Sydney show on Friday 26 February officially sold out, Adams heading down under next summer for the highly anticipated Roll With The Punches Tour, featuring special guest Natalie Imbruglia.
And that’s not the only tour news today: Adams will also perform an exclusive, one-night-only Bare Bones acoustic show at The Star Gold Coast on Tuesday 2 March – the only Australian city where Adams will present this special stripped-back show during his 2027 visit. Adams last brought his acclaimed Bare Bones show to Australia in 2011, making this his first performance in intimate acoustic format in more than 15 years. This special acoustic production offers fans a rare opportunity to experience one of music’s most celebrated catalogues in an intimate theatre setting.
Frontier Members can access presale tickets for both new shows announced today from Friday 18 September (1pm local time), before tickets go on sale to the public on Monday 21 September (2pm local time). Visit frontiertouring.com for full information.
Just last week Bryan Adams revealed details of his forthcoming new album: How’s It Goin’, a deeply personal musical love letter to Canada, arriving November 6, 2026, via BAD Records.
Rooted in the people, places, landscapes and stories that have shaped the country, How’s It Goin’ sees Adams turn his unmistakable songwriting and voice towards home. Drawing on country, folk and rock, the album explores a distinctly Canadian musical landscape - at once expansive and intimate, cinematic and personal.
For Adams, the album began with a single song inspired by Canada’s east coast and grew into something much bigger: a collection of stories about the country he has called home throughout his life.
“The idea was simply to make a record about Canada,” says Adams. “It started with writing the song for the documentary Canada’s Wild Eastern Edge and after doing so much research, I was inspired to start writing more songs about Canada. Musically it took me somewhere a little different too, which made the whole thing exciting.”
That sense of discovery runs throughout How’s It Goin’. From landscapes and history to extraordinary characters and moments in the Canadian story, Adams finds inspiration in the familiar and the unexpected, creating an album that celebrates the country through his own distinctly personal lens.
The album features 12 songs and will be released across CD and LP, with the LP housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, obi and shrink wrap. A special A4 hardback book edition will also be available, featuring the album on CD, song lyrics and images connected to the stories and subjects explored across the record.
Over four decades, Bryan Adams has delivered one of the finest rock shows in the world to fans worldwide. Don’t miss these shows!
