Bryan Adams performed tonight for the first time at Roig Arena in a concert that brought together over 8,000 people. The Canadian artist delivered a comprehensive showcase of the major hits of his career in a performance defined by his connection with the crowd and a setlist combining some of his most iconic tracks with songs from his more recent work.
The show kicked off in an intimate, direct manner with an acoustic start on the B-stage located right among the floor audience, featuring "Can't Stop This Thing We Started" and "Straight From the Heart", instantly setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. From that moment on, the venue’s powerful sound system took center stage with high-energy tracks like "Kick Ass", "Run to You", "Somebody", and "Roll With the Punches", turning the floor into a true celebration of live rock.
Over more than two hours of concert, Adams showcased an enviable stage presence, weaving energetic guitar riffs together with some of the most iconic ballads in pop-rock history. The chemistry between the Canadian musician and the Valencian audience reached its peak during the final stretch of the show. The artist surprised the crowd by seamlessly blending classics such as "Cuts Like a Knife" with up-tempo covers like "Twist and Shout", nods to Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes", and even the iconic ending riff of Blur's "Song 2" integrated into "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You".
The crowning moments of the night arrived with performances of the legendary "Heaven", the world-renowned "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", and the timeless anthem "Summer of '69", sung in unison by thousands of voices. The evening also reserved a very special moment during the encore with a rendition of "Bésame Mucho", sung at the top of their lungs by the entire arena, before closing on a high note with "All for Love".
