Bryan Adams Returns with ‘Roll With The Punches’: A Rock Revival Built on Resilience and Hope

A Triumphant Return to Rock

Canadian rock icon Bryan Adams has announced his new album ‘Roll With The Punches’, his 17th studio album and the first full-length record to be released via his own independent label Bad Records. The album will be available on vinyl, CD, 2XCD (including acoustic bonus disc), Deluxe Boxset and digitally on August 29th 2025.

New Music with Classic Spirit

‘Roll With The Punches’ is a song about resilience and the spirit of getting back up no matter how hard you’ve been knocked down. The track is dedicated to everyone who’s ever felt defeated but chose to fight another day, with Adams explaining that the song captures the idea of getting through challenges by simply rocking out.

The album sounds strikingly modern while maintaining Adams’ signature style. ‘A Little More Understanding’ features a Stones-like groove and a soulful heart – particularly relevant as 2025 calls for more empathy. What’s refreshing about Adams is his consistent positivity, evident in tracks like ‘Life Is Beautiful’, which he delivers with genuine conviction.

Massive World Tour

The 2025 ‘Roll With The Punches’ tour launched in New Zealand and Australia earlier this year and is heading to the UK & Ireland for 12 shows, followed by 35 dates across Europe. The North American leg kicks off September 11, 2025, at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops, British Columbia, with special guests The Sheepdogs joining on Canadian dates and Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo for select U.S. dates.

Legacy and Future

The release of ‘Roll With the Punches’ brings a fresh yet familiar energy, blending raw rock-and-blues grit with the polished songwriting that has defined Adams’ legacy. The album not only reaffirms his place in the rock canon but also showcases his continued relevance in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
