Bryan Adams: Roll with the Punches w/ guest Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo
About This Event
Bryan Adams performs at the Prudential Center, bringing a decades-long songbook from a Canadian singer‑songwriter who has sold an estimated 75–100+ million records and was among the most‑played artists on Canadian radio in the 2010s. The bill includes Pat Benatar and longtime collaborator Neil Giraldo — a producer and 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee — framing the night around veteran songwriting, production and sustained collaborative performance.
About Roll with the Punches
“Roll with the Punches” brings Bryan Adams to the Prudential Center with a set drawn from a decades-long catalog by the Canadian singer-songwriter, whose sales are widely estimated in the 75–100+ million range and who remained a heavy presence on Canadian radio into the 2010s. The bill also includes Pat Benatar with longtime collaborator Neil Giraldo, pairing two strands of late-20th-century rock craft on one stage. Though not an NYC premiere, the night has regional weight for a New York–area audience shaped by arena tours and FM-era songwriting. The clearest throughline is durability: choruses built to hold up under time and repetition.
