Barracuda & Events & NuCoast present
Bryan Adams – „Roll with the Punches”, a landmark of global rock, live in Cluj
One of the most influential artists in pop-rock history returns to Romania: Bryan Adams will perform on December 17, 2026 at BT Arena in Cluj-Napoca, at 8:00 PM, as part of his worldwide „Roll with the Punches” tour. The event is organized by Barracuda & Events & NuCoast.
The event marks the Canadian artist’s return to a Romanian stage following the resounding success of his „Bare Bones” concert in Bucharest (April 2025) — a show that sold out shortly after tickets went on sale and was met with minutes-long standing ovations, in an atmosphere described by audiences as one of the most intense live experiences of recent years.
„Roll with the Punches” – a show built for arenas
The „Roll with the Punches” tour brings an electrifying format designed for large venues, featuring a setlist that spans every stage of his career: from chart-dominating hits to new material and powerful stadium-style live reinterpretations. The Cluj audience will experience: a full band show with large-scale visual production, a mix of classic rock, power ballads and arena rock anthems, along with the direct interaction Bryan Adams is renowned for in his concerts.
A benchmark of global live music
With a career spanning over four decades, Bryan Adams is not just a hitmaker — he is one of the artists who defined the global standard of rock concerts.
• over 100 million albums sold
• #1 chart positions in more than 40 countries
• author of pop-rock classics such as Summer of ’69, (Everything I Do) I Do It for You and Heaven
• holder of one of the longest-running #1 positions in UK Singles Chart history (16 weeks)
• concerts on every continent, from sold-out stadiums to legendary acoustic performances
Bryan Adams is widely recognized in the industry as one of the most consistent live performers, with tours that have set attendance records and redefined the concept of the “rock concert” through energy, authenticity and direct connection with the audience.
Cluj-Napoca – a strategic stop on the tour map
Including Cluj on the European tour route confirms the city’s status as one of the strongest live event hubs in the region. BT Arena will host one of the most significant international rock events of 2026 in Romania. Following the enthusiastic response of Romanian audiences in 2025, Bryan Adams’ return in an arena format is expected to generate major interest both nationally and regionally.
