There simply aren’t enough superlatives to properly acknowledge the contribution Deep Purple has made to rock music. Having sold more than 100 million albums and filled global stadiums and arenas for decades, there’s little wonder that the band’s influence is so highly regarded. The band were presented the ‘Legend Award’ at the 2008 World Music Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Deep Purple truly are ‘rock royalty’, with an ongoing reign.

With a body of work spanning seven decades, Deep Purple has helped pioneer and define the hard rock genre while progressively moving into new areas, both keeping their sound fresh and attracting new fans to the legions who have remained loyal since the band’s inception. The celebrated MKII line up of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore were responsible for creating many of the defining rock albums of the early 70’s, including “Made In Japan”, universally accepted as one of the most important and influential live albums of all time.

Known as one of the hardest working bands ever, Deep Purple has continued to release No.1 albums and tour globally since forming in 1968, with little rest. The past 10 years alone has seen the band achieve over 2 million album sales and 4 consecutive #1’s in Germany for their last 4 studio albums, (all of which have also attained top positions across Europe), impressively underlining that the British legends remain at the forefront of international rock in the new
millennium.

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams has announced a new run of cross-country tour dates in support of his acclaimed 2025 release, Roll With The Punches. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter will bring his signature high-energy Roll With The Punches live show to arenas and amphitheatres nationwide beginning August 24.

Fresh off the release of Roll With The Punches, Adams continues to prove why he remains one of the world’s most dynamic performers. Nominated for a 2026 JUNO Award for Rock Album of the Year, the album delivers his unmistakable blend of anthemic rock, raw guitar riffs, and heartfelt songwriting, pairing punchy, hook-filled tracks with reflective moments that capture the resilience and spirit that have defined his career. New songs are already finding their place alongside timeless classics like “Summer of ’69,” “Heaven,” “Run to You,” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,” promising fans a setlist that spans generations.

Joining Adams as special guest in all markets (except Thunder Bay) is Lights, whose genre-blurring pop sound and electrifying stage presence make for a powerful opening set.

With decades of chart-topping hits, sold-out tours, and unforgettable live performances, Bryan Adams continues to deliver an arena-sized rock show that brings fans together across the country. This Canadian run promises unforgettable nights of new music, deep cuts, and the songs that have become part of Canada’s musical DNA.
