Rock icon Bryan Adams delivered an electrifying performance last night at the Backyard Sports Club in Gurugram, leaving a sold-out crowd of 15,000 in awe. The 65-year-old singer-songwriter showcased his timeless appeal, creating an unforgettable evening during his So Happy It Hurts India Tour.

Adams treated fans to nearly two hours of musical brilliance, blending four decades of hits with select tracks from his extensive discography. Opening with the high-energy Kick Ass from his latest album, So Happy It Hurts, the show set a dynamic tone that carried through to its heartfelt acoustic finale, All For Love.

The setlist was a perfect mix of energetic anthems like Summer of ’69, Run to You, and Can’t Stop This Thing We Started, paired with soul-stirring ballads like Please Forgive Me. Audience participation added a unique touch, with Adams incorporating fan-requested songs from online submissions and signs held during the concert.

A standout moment of the night came when Adams walked through the crowd to perform from the sound console, bringing him closer to fans and amplifying the intimacy of the experience. The evening was a masterclass in showmanship, reaffirming Bryan Adams’ status as a rock legend and leaving the audience with memories to cherish.

Bryan Adams commented after the show, "The energy in Gurugram was electric! The connection with the audience was palpable; it was a truly special night and it felt good to be back performing for all of you after so many years.”

The concert’s production design brought an extra layer of excitement, turning the show into a visually stunning spectacle. A remote-controlled blimp camera soared through the venue, adding a playful touch, while a massive LED screen showcased the audience’s spirited reactions, making them an integral part of the performance.

Backing Bryan Adams was his stellar band, whose exceptional musicianship amplified the evening's magic. Guitarist Keith Scott, a 40-year collaborator with Adams, delivered electrifying solos, while Gary Breit on keyboards, with 20 years of experience by Adams’ side, added rich layers to the music. Pat Steward on drums brought dynamic energy to the stage, and the band's powerful backing vocals seamlessly complemented Adams' commanding voice. Their synergy elevated the show, creating a harmonious blend of artistry and passion that left a lasting impression.

The Gurugram concert, marking the third stop on the So Happy It Hurts India Tour, was more than a musical showcase. It stood as a vibrant testament to music’s timeless ability to unite audiences and leave behind unforgettable memories.
