Bryan Adams at KeyBank Center | August 14, 2026
Bryan Adams has been playing arenas since before most of his current audience had a driver’s license, and his Roll with the Punches Tour suggests he has no intention of downshifting. The Canadian rock institution brings the tour to KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 7:30 PM, with Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo opening — a pairing that reads less like a support act and more like a co-headliner arrangement between two artists who helped define rock radio in the 1980s.
About Bryan Adams
Forty-plus years into a career built on stadium-sized anthems, Adams remains one of the most commercially durable figures in rock. His catalog stretches from “Run to You” and “Summer of ’69” through “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” — the ballad that held the UK No. 1 position for 16 weeks, a record at the time — to “Heaven,” “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?,” and the Rod Stewart and Sting collaboration “All For Love.” Reckless, released in 1984, became the first Canadian album certified diamond. He was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022. The catalog is undeniable, and live, Adams has consistently delivered it without apology or revision.
Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo
The opening act is no afterthought. Benatar and Giraldo — the creative and personal partnership behind “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Love Is a Battlefield,” and “We Belong” — bring their own catalog of hard-driving rock to the bill. Together they placed 17 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with four reaching the top 10. Any show that opens with their set and closes with Adams is a night of two catalogs that hold up without nostalgia being the only reason to show up.
