The newly announced dates will extend the artist’s UK run for his global ‘So Happy It Hurts’ tour, which will see Adams visit Coventry (May 17), Sheffield (18) and Cardiff (19) directly after a residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall from May 13 to May 15, 2024.
The tour also includes a show at Dublin’s 3Arena on May 21 and The SSE Arena in Belfast on May 22.
The ‘Summer of ’69’ musician is due to perform one album in full each night at the iconic London venue – ’18 Til I Die’, ‘Reckless’ and ‘So Happy It Hurts’ – along with his greatest hits.
“Our last visit to the Royal Albert Hall was such a great series of shows, it was a no-brainer to want to come back and do it again,” Adams said in a press statement. “However this time we have a whole new perspective on how to make it work and with three different albums. The band and I are really looking forward to it!”
Adams has also announced a 31-date tour with Dave Stewart from Eurythmics supporting him on the stint.
