Music legend Bryan Adams is set to ignite Indian stages with his highly anticipated So Happy It Hurts tour, kicking off on December 8 in Kolkata.

The concert, to be held at Aquatica, promises to be a spectacular event. Extensive preparations are underway to create an unforgettable experience for fans. "We are very excited; we contacted Mahesh Bhupathi’s team, who is bringing him to India, and convinced Bryan’s team. Kolkata is the cultural capital of India—how could he miss it?" Chakraborty enthused to News18.

Adams himself expressed his excitement about returning to India. "I'm so excited to announce that I will be coming back to India with my ‘So Happy It Hurts’ tour in December 2024," he shared on Instagram.

This marks the Canadian rock icon's sixth visit to India. "I'm incredibly excited to be coming back to India! There's a unique connection I feel with the Indian audience," Adams said. "Your passion for music is truly inspiring, and I can't wait to perform all your favourite songs – the old ones and some new ones too. This tour is a celebration of music that has connected people across generations. Get ready to rock!"

The tour will traverse multiple Indian cities, including Shillong, Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, culminating on December 16. Fans can expect a nostalgic journey through Adams' extensive discography, featuring timeless classics like ‘Summer of '69’, ‘Everything I Do I Do It For You’, and ‘Please Forgive Me’, as well as tracks from his Grammy-nominated album, ‘So Happy It Hurts’.
