LEXINGTON, KY. (June 26, 2025) – Following successful sold-out performances in 2022 and 2023, critically acclaimed comedian Adam Sandler announces his new tour – the “You’re My Best Friend” Comedy Tour. Promoted by Live Nation, the fall 2025 arena tour will bring Sandler to Rupp Arena on Thursday, October 16, 2025.
Adam Sandler needs no introduction. He has found enormous success as an actor, producer, musician, and writer. His last tours in 2022 and 2023 were sold out. The 2024 Netflix special Adam Sandler: Love You was filmed over two days in sold-out concerts in Los Angeles. 100% Fresh, which was Sandler’s first comedy special in twenty years, was released by Netflix in 2018. Warner Bros. Records also released the audio companions for both the Adam Sandler: Love You special and 100% Fresh. On screen, audiences can see Sandler in the highly anticipated Happy Gilmore 2, streaming on Netflix on July 25, and the upcoming Noah Baumbach film, Jay Kelly, this fall.
