Rock icon Bryan Adams is set to light up Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock when his Roll With The Punches Tour rolls in on August 1, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. The long-awaited stop is one that local fans have been watching for, and the lineup is already making it a major event for Arkansas concertgoers.
Joining Adams on stage are two powerhouse names from classic rock and pop-rock: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. Their presence adds serious depth to the bill, bringing an additional wave of hits that spans decades and multiple generations of music lovers.
Bryan Adams Roll With The Punches Tour lands in North Little Rock in August 2026
The Bryan Adams Roll With The Punches Tour announcement arrives with a full schedule and clear ticket timing. Tickets will go on sale March 27 at 10 a.m., and fans looking to get ahead can also take advantage of presales starting March 24. All tickets will be handled through Ticketmaster, according to event details being shared for the show.
This tour stop is part of a larger 2026 run that keeps Adams’ global momentum moving. The latest outing follows continued strong fan demand, building on a recent period that has seen more than 80 performances worldwide in recent years. For 2026, the U.S. leg is planned as a 16-city arena circuit, with major venues across the country, underscoring the scale of the production and the level of interest in his live shows.
Adams is also stepping into 2026 while spotlighting his newest material. Alongside his enormous catalogue of radio staples, fans can expect music from the album Roll With The Punches, which has drawn recognition this year, including a 2026 Juno Award nomination. For longtime listeners, that blend of classic and fresh material is part of what has made his concerts so consistently popular.
His live reputation is built on high-energy performances and a setlist that works for both casual listeners and lifelong fans. When Adams takes the stage in North Little Rock, the show is expected to feature some of his most enduring hits, including “Summer of 69,” “Heaven,” “Run to You,” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You.” Those songs have become concert standards for a reason—sing-alongs, emotional moments, and crowd-wide celebration tend to define the experience.
But the evening won’t be limited to Adams alone. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are stepping in as special guests, bringing their own legendary catalog and powerhouse vocal and guitar performances. Benatar’s songs have remained staples in rock history, and the duo is expected to perform favorites such as “Love Is A Battlefield,” “We Belong,” and “Heartbreaker.”
It’s the kind of lineup that creates a rare, full-spectrum rock night. Adams is known for crafting anthems that cross eras, while Benatar and Giraldo deliver the sharper edge of classic rock radio hits that fans still request years later. Put together, the show looks positioned to appeal to people who came of age with these records—and to younger listeners discovering them live for the first time.
For local fans in Arkansas, there’s also an extra layer of excitement: radio stations tied to the ArkansasRadio.com network will be running ticket opportunities and giveaways ahead of the on-sale date. Promotions are scheduled through Cool 104.7 & 99.1 and Timeless 106.1 KFFB, giving listeners another chance to score seats without having to rely solely on the primary sales window.
With decades of chart-topping success and a touring history packed with sold-out shows, Bryan Adams remains one of rock’s most reliable live performers. And with the Roll With The Punches Tour bringing both new material and the biggest hits fans expect, the August 1, 2026 show at Simmons Bank Arena is shaping up to be a standout night for North Little Rock music lovers.
Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for the March 24 presales and the March 27 10 a.m. ticket release, especially as demand tends to rise quickly for arena-sized concerts featuring major special guests like Benatar and Giraldo.
