4h
Canadian rock icon Bryan Adams is playing across the country this fall.
The "Summer of '69" singer will play 19 Canadian cities on his 'Roll With the Punches' tour. He's already taken that show on the road to Australia and New Zealand this year, and hits the U.K. and Ireland in May.
He'll kick off his North American leg on September 11 in Kamloops, B.C., playing dates across the country all the way to St. John's, Newfoundland on October 15, before heading south of the border. Saskatchewan rockers The Sheepdogs will join Adams for the Canadian leg, with Amanda Marshall supporting in Calgary and Kelowna.

The tour accompanies his forthcoming album of the same name, which is set for release this summer on Adams' label Bad Records. Adams promises new tracks as well as "all the classics" for this tour. Presale begins Tuesday, April 29 and general sale starts Friday, May 2 at 10 AM local.

Also announced this week, two legacy English rock acts will be crossing the pond to play Canada's biggest city this fall.
Elvis Costello & The Imposters will perform at the historic Massey Hall on September 26 as part of the Radio Soul! tour, featuring Costello's early material. The show draws on material from Costello's breakout My Aim Is True to 1986's Blood and Chocolate, and gets its name from the first draft of the song "Radio Radio." Tickets go on sale April 25 at 10 AM.
Britpop outfit Pulp are coming to Toronto on September 16 to play the outdoor Budweiser Stage. The band are touring their first new album in two dozen years, More, set for release on June 6. The tour follows a North American run from last year, with frontman Jarvis Cocker promising this year's tour will have even more to offer. Tickets go on sale April 25 at 10 AM.
For music fans seeking summer activity, Montreal Jazz Fest has announced its full 2025 lineup. The longstanding festival will bring hip-hop hero Nas, funk master Thundercat, alt-rockers Violent Femmes and local indie stars Men I Trust to Montreal this summer. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, with over 350 concerts programmed, two thirds of which are free.
