Rock veteran Bryan Adams is set to take the stage at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach on Friday, May 10, bringing decades of chart-topping hits to the Gulf Coast for a single beachside show.
The concert is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. at the outdoor venue, located at 23325 Wharf Lane. Tickets range from $19.53 to $93.53 and are available through Ticketmaster, with prices varying by seating location within the amphitheater.
Adams, one of Canada’s most successful musical exports, first broke through internationally in 1983 with the title track of his album “Cuts Like a Knife.” A year later, he cemented his place in rock history with “Reckless,” an album that produced enduring hits including “Summer of ’69,” “Run to You” and “One Night Love Affair” and turned him into a fixture of radio playlists worldwide.
As the 1980s gave way to the 1990s, Adams kept the hits coming, topping charts with songs such as “Please Forgive Me,” “All for Love” — a collaboration with Sting and Rod Stewart recorded for the film “The Three Musketeers” — and “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman,” further broadening his audience across generations and genres.
More than three decades into his career, Adams remains active on the road and in the studio. His stop in Orange Beach comes as he continues to tour behind his more recent album, “Shine a Light,” which finds him leaning into modern production while still holding true to the clean, traditional rock sound that built his career. Concertgoers can expect a set list that blends his newest material with the catalog of hits that made him a household name.
The Wharf Amphitheater has become a go-to stop for major touring acts visiting Baldwin County, drawing thousands of fans to Orange Beach each season for a mix of rock, country and other genres performed against the backdrop of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Adams’ appearance adds another marquee name to the venue’s lineup for the year.
Fans planning to attend are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance through Ticketmaster, as prices and availability can change as the show date approaches. Doors typically open ahead of the 8 p.m. start time to allow concertgoers to find seating and enjoy the amphitheater’s waterfront setting before the performance begins.
