Bryan Adams Announces 'So Happy It Hurts' Australian Tour

Everything he does, he does it for you… that’s right, Bryan Adams is heading to Australia and New Zealand in February 2025. The tour marks his first shows down under since March 2019.

Adams is beloved in Australia, with the Heaven hitmaker making his first-ever stops down under in 1984. With a string of #1 hits worldwide, Adams will be bringing the classics – Summer Of ’69, Run To You, (Everything I Do) I Do It for You; you can name so many – as well as tracks from his latest album, So Happy It Hurts, which he released in 2022.

Joining Adams on the forthcoming tour is James Arthur, the English singer known for the smash hit single, Say You Won’t Let Go. The tour marks Arthur’s debut performances in Australia and New Zealand.

The fun begins in New Zealand, with Adams set to perform at Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch and Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday, 1, and Tuesday, 4 February, respectively. From there, the tour hits Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (Thursday, 6 February), Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Friday, 7 February), Perth’s RAC Arena (Sunday, 9 February), Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena (Wednesday, 12 February), and Brisbane Entertainment Centre (Thursday, 13 February).

Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Monday, 2 September, before the general sale begins on Wednesday, 4 September. You can find the timings and other ticketing details here.

In a review of Adams’ show at Rod Laver Arena in March 2019, The Music’s Bryget Chrisfield wrote: “After Adams rocked our socks off, all in attendance were stoked to have made his acquaintance. He's lost none of that effortless rockstar lustre; Adams is the real deal.”
