Bryan Adams is doubling down on momentum in 2026, officially announcing a new run of U.S. tour dates for his ongoing Roll With The Punches Tour — and bringing along two of rock’s most enduring names, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, for the ride.

The newly announced leg arrives “due to overwhelming fan demand,” extending what has already been one of Adams’ most successful touring cycles in years. 

Set to kick off on July 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri, the tour will run through August 16, 2026, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, covering 16 major U.S. cities along the way. 

This continuation of the tour isn’t just another set of dates — it’s part of a larger resurgence tied to Adams’ latest studio album, Roll With the Punches, released in 2025. The album marked a major moment in his career, reuniting him with legendary producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the architect behind some of his biggest commercial successes. 

But what gives this run its real weight is the lineup. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo — Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and one of rock’s most iconic duos — will join Adams on every U.S. date, continuing a collaboration that began during earlier legs of the tour. 

The chemistry isn’t accidental. Both Adams and Benatar built their legacies in the same era, dominating radio and arenas throughout the ’80s. Now, decades later, they’re bringing that catalog back to the stage — not as nostalgia acts, but as artists still actively touring, recording, and evolving.

The 2026 U.S. dates include a wide run across the country, hitting key cities such as:

  • July 24 – St. Louis, MO (Enterprise Center)
  • July 26 – Wichita, KS
  • July 28 – Thackerville, OK
  • July 29 – Austin, TX
  • July 31 – Houston, TX
  • August 1 – New Orleans, LA
  • August 4 – North Little Rock, AR
  • August 5 – Greenville, SC
  • August 8 – Orlando, FL
  • August 9 – Charlotte, NC
  • August 11 – Baltimore, MD
  • August 12 – Reading, PA
  • August 14 – Newark, NJ
  • August 15 – Buffalo, NY
  • August 16 – Milwaukee, WI  

Tickets for the new leg are scheduled to go on sale Friday, March 27, marking another major push as Adams continues to build momentum around the tour. 

Beyond the logistics, the tour represents something bigger for Adams. Since stepping into full independence with his own label in recent years, he’s taken complete control over his music, touring, and creative direction — a shift that has reshaped how he approaches both recording and performing.

On stage, fans can expect a setlist that blends eras — from timeless hits like “Summer of ’69,” “Heaven,” and (Everything I Do) I Do It for You) to newer material from Roll With the Punches. Previous shows have also leaned into deeper cuts, giving longtime fans more than just a greatest hits package.

Meanwhile, Benatar and Giraldo bring their own legacy catalog, including staples like “Love Is a Battlefield” and “We Belong,” adding another layer of classic rock firepower to the bill.

What makes this tour stand out isn’t just the lineup — it’s the sense of continuity. This isn’t a one-off reunion or nostalgia circuit. It’s a sustained, evolving run that has already crossed continents and now returns to the U.S. with renewed demand and a proven formula.

And in an era where many legacy acts scale back, Adams is doing the opposite — expanding, refining, and pushing forward.

Because in 2026, this isn’t just a tour.

It’s a reminder that some careers don’t fade — they just keep rolling with the punches.
