Sounds everyone loves
Beloved beats and melodies fill Place des Arts’ halls several nights a year, bringing joy to Pop music lovers. The genre’s top talents often choose one of our venues as a tour stop, using the facilities to set their songs in a distinctive frame. One of many artists to have put a unique spin on their catalogue by adapting it to the features of Place des Arts is Bryan Adams, who delighted fans with stripped-down acoustic takes on his megahits here in 2009, taking full advantage of Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier’s fine acoustics.
