Canadian rocker Bryan Adams has announced additional tour dates, extending the Roll With The Punches Tour with special guest Lights with a stop at the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) in Penticton, BC on Sunday, September 13.

Following a massive international run, the Roll With The Punches Tour has captured fans worldwide with its powerful performances, dynamic staging, and a setlist spanning Adams’ legendary four‑decade career. Named after his anticipated upcoming album, the tour builds on the rock-forward sound Bryan Adams is celebrated for — blending raw energy, unforgettable hooks, and his unmistakable voice.
With timeless classics like “Summer of ’69,” “Run to You,” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” Adams continues to prove why he remains one of the most enduring and influential artists in rock music.
Joining Adams as special guest is Lights, whose genre-blurring pop sound and electrifying stage presence make for a powerful opening set.

Bryan Adams fans can secure the best seats for Penticton’s show online at ValleyFirstTix.com or in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC starting Friday, March 6 at 10:00 AM PT.
