Bryan Adams is giving Austin fans another shot at his Roll With The Punches tour, locking in a stop at the Moody Center on Tuesday, July 28 as part of a newly announced second North American leg. The added run covers 16 arena dates, starting in St. Louis on July 24 and wrapping in Milwaukee on Aug. 16, with a July 29 show slated for Houston. Pat Benatar and guitarist Neil Giraldo are set to join the new dates as special guests, and local fans should note that presales and a public on sale are lined up for later this week.
According to CultureMap Austin, the announcement dropped March 23 and includes the full slate of mid‑summer arena stops. The outlet reports that a Citi presale for U.S. dates kicks off Tuesday, with additional presales leading into a general on sale that opens at 10 a.m. Friday. CultureMap’s rundown singles out the Moody Center date as Tuesday, July 28 and also confirms the July 29 Houston appearance.
Tough Town vinyl and the album behind the tour
Adams is on the road in support of Roll With The Punches, his 17th studio album, and has a limited‑edition Tough Town vinyl queued up for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18, according to BryanAdams.com. The grey‑vinyl pressing gathers 10 tracks previously available only in the album’s deluxe box set and is aimed squarely at independent record stores and collectors. The Record Store Day drop is timed to dovetail with the summer tour and Adams’ broader promotional push around the new record.
Support acts and what they bring
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are billed as special guests for the U.S. leg, a pairing first revealed when Adams initially rolled out the North American tour, as reported by American Songwriter. Their addition brings a heavy dose of classic rock to the lineup and should widen the shows’ cross‑generational pull. Fans can expect an arena‑scale production that blends Adams’ long‑running stadium favorites with cuts from Roll With The Punches.
How to buy tickets and plan ahead
Presales start Tuesday and the public on sale opens at 10 a.m. Friday, CultureMap Austin notes, so fans looking for early access will want to register for the Citi presale. For official date listings, VIP options and any last‑minute changes, keep an eye on BryanAdams.com and authorized ticket outlets. Based on past Adams arena stops, buyers should plan for quick‑moving inventory and the usual big‑night lines at the doors and merch stands, so arriving early is a smart move.
