If you spend your Wednesday morning at The Florida Aquarium—right up the road from Amalie Arena—you just might catch a glimpse of Bryan Adams gushing over some dolphins, as he did on the Memorial Causeway Bridge before a 2016 Coachman Park appearance.

Mr. “Summer of ‘69”—also an outspoken vegan—had a busy 2022 in terms of studio work, though. Over the course of five months, he recorded some reiterated versions of his best-known songs—as well as those he wrote for Broadway’s “Pretty Woman”—and dropped So Happy It Hurts, inspired by how he felt about COVID-19 protocols loosening up.

Tickets to see Bryan Adams with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Wednesday, June 21 are still available and start at $55.75.
