Platinum selling and Grammy Award winning musician Bryan Adams has announced live arena shows for Belfast and Dublin in summer 2022 with a headline tour.

Tickets for The SSE Arena Belfast on 29th May and 3Arena Dublin on 30th May go on sale at 9am this Friday, 15th October.

Widely considered one of the most iconic rock musicians in the world, Adams has countless accolades and awards and has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide.

The tour is in support of the Canadian's 15th studio album set for release in March 2022, aptly titled So Happy It Hurts.

Adams has had 27 top 40 singles, including number one hits '(Everything I Do) I Do it For You', on the soundtrack for 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and 'Don't Give Up' with Chicane.

Adams joined his first band at age 15, and at age 20 his eponymous debut album was released. He rose to fame in the US with 1983 Top 10 album Cuts Like a Knife, featuring its title track and the ballad 'Straight From the Heart', his first US Top 10 hit. His 1984 album, Reckless, made him a global star with tracks like 'Run to You' and 'Summer of '69', both Top 10 hits in the US and Canada, and the power ballad 'Heaven', a US number 1 hit. His 1987 album Into the Fire went to number 2 in Canada and the Top 10 in several other countries.

In 1991, '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You' went to number 1 in at least 19 countries, including for 16 and 18 straight weeks in the UK, and Europe overall, both records. It is one of the best-selling singles of all time, having sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. The song was included on Adams' Waking Up the Neighbours (1991), a worldwide number 1 album that sold 16 million copies.
