Bryan Adams will headline Rock N Roll Circus in Sheffield this August, it has been confirmed.
Headlining on Friday 29th August 2025 at Don Valley, Adams will treat fans to the hits and selections from his new album ‘Roll With The Punches', which is released on the same day. The show announcements arrives the same day that Adams has confirmed a huge outdoor show at Warwick Castle.
Joining Adams is an all-star line-up of artists including Melanie C, Newton Faulkner, Cassyette, Nell Mescal, Somebody’s Child, Ashley Singh, Deco, Bethany Grace, Crystal Tides, Femur, The Crookes, Sundress, Charlie Floyd, and Alice Ede.
Ali O’Reilly, Festival Director, said: “Unfortunately, The Wombats will no longer be playing Friday 29th but we are delighted to announce an exciting new act so Friday can go ahead as planned.'
We’re incredibly excited to welcome Bryan Adams to Rock N Roll Circus. His catalogue of hits and legendary live performances are the stuff of rock folklore, and having him headline Friday night means fans are in for a real treat.”
