Bryan Adams Concert Setlists: What to Know About the So Happy It Hurts Tour

Bryan Adams is continuing to push the best days of our lives well past the “Summer of ’69.” His So Happy It Hurts Tour is extending into its third year in 2024, as the Grammy-winning Canadian singer, songwriter and guitarist will embark on another lap around North America in support of his fifteenth full-length effort, 2022’s So Happy It Hurts.

Although he has been on the road since January 2022, Bryan Adams’ tour setlist has only expanded, as he’s kept up an impressively prolific release schedule. Notably, the tour’s namesake album coincided with his solo performance of Pretty Woman, the 2018 Broadway musical adaptation that he co-wrote, in March 2022. Since then, Adams has released two albums of re-recorded material and three live shows from London’s Royal Albert Hall, in which he played 1983’s Cuts Like a Knife, 1987’s Into the Fire and 1991’s Waking Up the Neighbours in their entirety.

Find an average Bryan Adams setlist below, and shine a light on the multi-platinum artist’s extensive live history before attending the latest leg of the So Happy It Hurts Tour.
