Performance

Roll with the Punches

1 upcoming performance in New York

“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.
