Bryan Adams: Roll with the Punches w/ guest Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo
About This Event
Bryan Adams, the Canadian singer‑songwriter behind decades of radio staples and an estimated 75–100+ million record and single sales worldwide, brings a band‑forward, songcraft‑focused set to the Prudential Center. He is joined by Pat Benatar and guitarist‑producer Neil Giraldo — Hall of Fame collaborators whose precise, guitar‑driven arrangements and direct vocal attack have shaped arena‑ready rock since the late 1970s.
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.
