Bryan Adams Announces New Zealand Tour: Tickets On Sale Now!

Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has announced two New Zealand concerts for February 2025. The 'Working Class Man' singer will play two New Zealand concerts in 2025: 1 February at Wolfbrook Arena, Christchurch, and 4 February at Auckland's Spark Arena. Adams, 64, has amassed a large collection of hits, accolades, and awards over the past 40 years. From his very first concerts in Australia in 1984, Adams is a long-time live favorite 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. Adams last played in Aotearoa in 2019, although his Christchurch concert was canceled following the 15 March mosque attacks. English singer-songwriter James Arthur, one of the world's biggest streaming artists, will play support. Adams has duetted with icons Tina Turner, Sting, Rod Stewart, and Mel C. He 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. Joining Adams as special guest on all shows – and his first time performing in AU/NZ – is English singer and songwriter James Arthur. 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. 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.
