Bryan Adams has finally set his sights on a Canadian tour - and he has 20/20/20 vision.

The veteran pop-rocker and his band will play 20 shows in 20 cities from Newfoundland to British Columbia this spring and summer on his first national trek in over 20 years.

Adams’ three-stage tour kicks off April 11 in St. John’s and covers six cities in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. In May, he hits Ontario for seven shows, including a May 3 gig at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. In June, he wraps up with seven more shows in the West, ending with a June 22 concert in Winnipeg. See below for a full list of dates, cities and venues.

Tickets for the Quebec and Atlantic shows go on sale Saturday, Feb. 4 at Ticketmaster and livenation.com. Seats for all the other shows will be available Monday, Feb. 6. Most seats will cost between $20 and $95 before taxes and fees. Various pre-sale and VIP packages are also available.

The Ontario-born, Vancouver-raised singer-guitarist’s most recent studio album was 2008’s 11, which he followed up with a lengthy run of solo acoustic concerts. He is reportedly working on a new studio album due later this year.
