5 Australian arena dates on Bryan Adams’ 2027 tour

Arena lights, roaring choruses and a room full of voices are back on the calendar for Bryan Adams fans. The Canadian rocker will return to Australia in February and March 2027 with his Roll With The Punches tour, playing Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne. Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia will join every show as the special guest. The run follows Adams’ sold-out 2025 visit and another heavy year of international touring.

How Events Unfolded

The announcement confirmed a five-city Australian arena run opening at RAC Arena in Perth on Tuesday, 23 February. Adams then moves to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday, 26 February, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday, 1 March, Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Thursday, 4 March, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Friday, 5 March.

After Melbourne, the tour crosses the Tasman for shows at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, 10 March, and Christchurch’s Wolfbrook Arena on Friday, 12 March. The schedule makes the Australian leg a genuinely national arena tour rather than a short east-coast stop.

Imbruglia will appear across the full Australia and New Zealand itinerary. Her inclusion gives the bill a strong local connection, with the Australian artist preparing to release her album Algorithm on 4 September 2026 after a career that has included eight ARIA Awards, two Brit Awards and three Grammy nominations.

Tickets are split across two release windows. Frontier Members receive presale access from 12pm local time on Friday, 17 July, while the general public sale opens at 12pm local time on Monday, 20 July. The ticket-sale schedule applies across the Australian dates.

Critical Details

The tour supports Adams’ 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches. It also extends a relentless live schedule: he performed 140 shows worldwide in 2025, with further dates across the United States, Canada and Europe during 2026 before the tour reaches Australia.

That pace explains the quick return. His previous Australia and New Zealand tour took place in 2025 and drew sold-out crowds, giving the promoter a clear case for another arena run only two years later. The new production combines songs from Roll With The Punches with long-running staples including Summer of ’69, Heaven, Run To You, Please Forgive Me and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

Reactions & Responses

Frontier Touring’s announcement positions the shows as a return built around proven demand, not a one-off nostalgia booking. Adams’ catalogue has produced number-one hits in more than 40 countries, while the 2025 regional tour supplied recent evidence that Australian audiences still turn out for the full arena experience.

Adams has also described the communal singing at his concerts as part of the attraction. Speaking ahead of his previous Australian tour, he compared the sound of united crowd voices with football matches.

My theory is everyone can sing, just some people can sing a little bit better than others.

Imbruglia adds another familiar voice to the bill. Her 1997 debut Left of the Middle sold seven million copies worldwide, while Torn is identified by the tour announcement as the most-played song on Australian radio since 1990.

Putting It in Perspective

For Australian fans, the biggest practical detail is the spread of dates. Perth and Adelaide are included alongside Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, reducing the need for interstate travel that often comes with shorter international tours.

The pairing also brings together two artists whose best-known songs have remained in Australian radio and live-music culture for decades. That makes the tour less dependent on a single new release: Roll With The Punches supplies the current chapter, while the arena set is expected to lean heavily on songs audiences already know.

All shows are licensed for all ages, widening the audience beyond long-time fans. The combination of a full national route, a local support act and recent sold-out history points to strong interest when tickets open.

Looking Ahead

The next confirmed step is the Frontier Member presale on Friday, 17 July at 12pm local time. General tickets follow on Monday, 20 July at 12pm local time, with buyers advised to use authorised sellers listed through the official tour announcement.

The Australian run begins in Perth on 23 February 2027 and ends in Melbourne on 5 March. New Zealand dates follow on 10 and 12 March.
