Ryan has since concluded the first leg of his North American solo tour this Autumn – playing sold out shows at Atlanta, GA’s Tabernacle Theater and the Thomas Wolfe Theater in Asheville, NC. The North American tour continues with 18 more shows across November and December – beginning with a sold-out ACL Live – the prestigious concert hall in Austin, TX.

“Word of mouth from the first leg of the tour was so good that promoters came to us,” explained Adams’ Manager, Richard Jones. “Ryan hasn’t toured since 2019 and there seems to be a voracious appetite to see him perform live.” The tour was conceived and orchestrated by Jones and Mike Hayes, Adams’ agent at APA.
