Bryan Adams is back and swinging hard. The legendary Canadian rocker has just announced Roll With The Punches, his seventeenth studio album and a bold new chapter released under his own label, Bad Records, arriving 29 August 2025. The album is already available to pre-order in a range of formats—from vinyl and CD to a deluxe box set and digital—and it’s shaping up to be one of his most personal, punchy releases yet.
Adams isn’t easing into this new era quietly. The album’s latest single, Never Ever Let You Go, dropped today with a video that stars none other than Elizabeth Hurley—marking a glitzy return to the spotlight for the pair. Equal parts drama and euphoria, the video is a glossy, emotional ride that underscores the song’s power-pop punch. It’s the third release from the album and finds Adams reuniting with longtime collaborator Mutt Lange, proving that their chemistry still hits all the right notes. No surprise it’s already landed a coveted spot on the BBC Radio 2 A-List.
The album kicks off with its title track Roll With The Punches—a breakneck rock anthem that sets the pace for the record with raw guitars, road-tested grit and that unmistakable Adams snarl. This isn’t nostalgia; this is Bryan Adams at full throttle, writing rock for right now.
Speaking of right now, Adams’ 2025 has already been stacked. Fans across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK have had early tastes of the new material on his Roll With The Punches Tour, and the momentum shows no sign of slowing. He’s currently storming across mainland Europe before returning to the UK to headline the sold-out Saturday night slot at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Chelmsford on 6 September—a hot ticket and then some. And in case you missed out, he’s just announced a whopping 40-date arena tour across Canada and the US starting 11 September. Adams doesn’t tour; he takes over.
Musically, Roll With The Punches is a deft balancing act: fist-in-the-air rockers (How’s That Working For Ya?, Be The Reason) land beside introspective, aching ballads (Life Is Beautiful, Will We Ever Be Friends Again?) to create a soundscape that’s both stadium-sized and soul-deep. From themes of resilience to heartbreak and hope, it’s an album that doesn’t just roll—it roars.
