Key Points
Exact dates and venues for the Australia and New Zealand leg: Perth RAC Arena on 23 February, Sydney Qudos Bank Arena on 26 February, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 1 March, Adelaide's AEC Arena on 4 March, Melbourne Rod Laver Arena on 5 March; New Zealand shows at Auckland Spark Arena on 10 March and Christchurch Wolfbrook Arena on 12 March.
Natalie Imbruglia will appear as the special guest on all shows and her forthcoming album Algorithm is due for release in September.
Imbruglia has major awards credentials, including 8 ARIA Awards, two Brit Awards and three Grammy nominations.
Adams remains highly active on tour, with 2025 featuring about 140 shows worldwide and a 2026 schedule spanning Europe and North America ahead of the Down Under dates.
Ticket-sale details show Frontier Member pre-sales and general public dates vary by report: general public on July 20, with pre-sales reported as July 12 in one article and July 17 in another.
Bryan Adams will bring his Roll With The Punches arena tour to Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2027, with Natalie Imbruglia joining as special guest at every show. Heavy Mag reports the tour supports Adams' 16th studio album of the same name, hitting five Australian cities before crossing to New Zealand.
General public tickets go on sale July 20, with a Frontier Member pre-sale opening July 12. The run marks Adams' latest major push in a remarkable live stretch — he played around 140 shows worldwide in 2025 alone, according to Glam Adelaide.
Every Australian and New Zealand Date Confirmed
The tour kicks off at Perth's RAC Arena on February 23. Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena follows on February 26, then Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 1. Adelaide's AEC Arena hosts a show on March 4, and Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena closes the Australian leg on March 5, according to Heavy Mag.
New Zealand gets two shows. Auckland's Spark Arena is on March 10, followed by Christchurch's Wolfbrook Arena on March 12. Glam Adelaide notes that a 2026 European and North American tour schedule comes before Adams heads Down Under.
Natalie Imbruglia Brings Star Power to Every Show
Imbruglia is no small addition to the bill. She holds 8 ARIA Awards, two Brit Awards, and three Grammy nominations, according to Glam Adelaide. She will appear as special guest at all seven shows across Australia and New Zealand.
Imbruglia also has new music on the way. Her forthcoming album, Algorithm, is due for release in September, per Heavy Mag. The tour gives her a major platform right as she heads into a new album cycle.
Roll With The Punches Drives Adams Back on the Road
The tour is named after Adams' 16th studio album, Roll With The Punches, released last August. The Daily Telegraph reports the album is the driving force behind the world tour. Adams has built a reputation as one of rock's most active live performers.
His 2025 run of roughly 140 shows worldwide shows no signs of slowing down. A full 2026 slate across Europe and North America comes first, before the Australia and New Zealand dates in early 2027, according to Glam Adelaide.
How to Get Tickets Before the Public Sale
Frontier Member pre-sales begin July 12, giving registered fans early access. General public tickets go on sale July 20. The Herald Sun notes that tickets will be available across all five Australian capital city venues.
