Greenville is about to get a serious dose of rock ‘n’ roll royalty! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 4, 2026, because the legendary Bryan Adams is bringing his Roll With The Punches Tour to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. And if that wasn't enough to get your heart racing, he’s bringing along special guests Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo.

This isn't just a concert; it’s a celebration of decades of hits, anthems, and the kind of high-octane performance that only true legends can deliver. Whether you’re a lifelong fan who grew up with "Summer of '69" or a newcomer to the power of Pat Benatar’s "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," this is the summer event in the Upstate you simply cannot miss.

At Sleep Inn® at Greenville Convention Center, we are just as excited as you are. We know that a great night out starts and ends with a great place to stay. As a Designed to Dream™ property, we focus on providing a relaxing, stylish environment so you can rest up before the big show and recharge after a night of singing your heart out.

The Main Event: Roll With The Punches Tour

Bryan Adams remains one of the most exciting live performers in the world. Known for his gravelly voice, signature white t-shirt, and an endless list of hits, his Roll With The Punches Tour promises to be a career-spanning journey. From the rock anthems of the 80s to his more recent soulful tracks, Adams brings an energy to the stage that is absolutely infectious.

Joining him are the incomparable Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo. This powerhouse duo has been rocking together for over four decades, blending Pat’s incredible vocal range with Neil’s masterful guitar work. Expect to hear the classics that defined an era, delivered with the same passion and precision that earned them a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Start your afternoon at Falls Park on the Reedy. This stunning urban oasis features the iconic Liberty Bridge, a curved pedestrian bridge that offers breathtaking views of the waterfalls below. It’s the perfect spot for a photo op before you head to the arena.

After you’ve explored the park, take a walk down Main Street. It’s lined with unique boutiques, art galleries, and cafes. You might even find some local musicians playing on the street corners, setting the mood for a musical evening.

You’re going to need some fuel before you hit the arena. Greenville’s food scene is legendary. Here are a few top-rated spots near the arena:

Soby’s: A local staple for upscale Southern cuisine.
Tupelo Honey: Famous for their fried chicken and biscuits, classic Southern comfort.
CAMP: Modern American plates and great cocktails in a stylish setting.
STIR Greenville: Known for their raw bar and fresh, artisan cocktails.
