Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band announce 2023 tour

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will return to the road in early 2023, launching a series of to-be-announced U.S. arena dates in February, followed by European stadium shows kicking off on April 28 in Barcelona, with a second North American tour leg starting in August.

"After six years, I’m looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year. And I’m looking forward to once again sharing the stage with the legendary E Street Band. See you out there, next year -- and beyond," Springsteen said.

The planned European stops are Barcelona, Dublin, Paris, Ferrara, Rome, Amsterdam, Landgraaf, Zurich, Dusseldorf, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Vienna, Munich and Monza. Additional cities and shows in the U.K. and Belgium will be announced at a later date.

The 2023 dates will mark the first live shows for Springsteen and the E Street Band since the conclusion of their 14-month, worldwide “The River” tour in Australia in February of 2017. The group last played publicly on “Saturday Night Live” in December 2020, where they performed two songs from their most recent studio album, “Letter to You.”

Last year, Springsteen, who will be 73 when the tour launches, released the group’s “The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts” film, collaborated with former President Barack Obama on the book “Renegades: Born in the USA” and reprised his “Springsteen on Broadway” show to help reopen New York City’s theaters last summer.

The E Street Band’s members are: Roy Bittan — piano, synthesizer; Nils Lofgren — guitar, vocals; Patti Scialfa — guitar, vocals; Garry Tallent — bass guitar; Stevie Van Zandt — guitar, vocals; and Max Weinberg — drums; with Soozie Tyrell — violin, guitar, vocals; Jake Clemons — saxophone; and Charlie Giordano — keyboards.

In September, Springsteen postponed the remainder of his 2023 concerts as he receives treatment for peptic ulcer disease. The New Jersey star said in a statement all of the cancelled shows wiould be rescheduled for 2024.

On X, formerly Twitter, some fans on Monday morning said they were unhappy with the prices of tickets for the gigs in Ireland, with the cheapest on offer for all concerts at €96.25. This ticket was for selected seating excluding booking fees in Cork’s Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Dublin’s Croke Park.

Standing tickets for the Cork, Dublin and Kilkenny concerts were all €136.25 excluding booking fees. Tickets to see Springsteen play in Boucher Road, Belfast cost £120 (€138.46) before fees.

Seated tickets for UPMC Nowlan Park in Kilkenny were at a flat rate of €161.25. Tickets at the venues in Dublin and Cork were on offer for €96.25, €146.25, and €161.25 before booking fees.

On Monday around midday the lowest ticket price available for Croke Park was €146.25 excluding fees.

One fan said “£252 for two Belfast @springsteen tickets. Wise up. So much for the working man’s hero,” while another said “I’m really glad I saw Bruce Springsteen last time, but I’m noping on the ticket prices this time. He’s great, but it’s all getting a bit rich for my blood at €150 up per ticket in a monster stadium where most people are miles from the stage.”

A Ticketmaster spokeswoman said: “Ticketmaster does not set the price of tickets. For concert tickets, promoters work with artists and their teams to set prices.”

The spokeswoman also said there were no issues during ticket purchasing and the system operated normally.

All about Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be back in Italy in 2024 for two unmissable shows:

• June 1 2024, Stadio San Siro, Milano
• June 3 2024, Stadio San Siro, Milano

Lauded by Rolling Stone as “ the embodiment of rock & roll ”, with more than 140 million records sold around the globe and more than 70 million in the United States, Bruce Springsteen is one of the world’s best-selling artists. Long recognized as an incomparable live performer, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band 's 2023 international tour marked their first live shows since the conclusion of The River Tour in 2017 — a 14-month run named 2016’s top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar — and kicked off in February 2023 with a string of U.S. arena dates. The 2023 tour then continued into Europe over the spring and summer, before returning to North America for a second leg in August.

Backed by The E Street Horns and The E Street Choir, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band ’s 2023 European tour sold more than 1.6 million tickets — and earned widespread acclaim as some of the best shows of the band’s career, receiving praise from Billboard as “the greatest show on earth” and "one of the greatest shows ever" from The Daily Telegraph as well as five-star reviews from The Times, The Independent, NME and many others. Highlights included a two-night kick-off in Barcelona which "unleashed euphoria," as El Correo attested, as well as performances to over 130,000 fans across two dates at London's Hyde Park and a final night to over 70,000 in Monza, Italy. The 14-country tour included multi-night stands in each of Barcelona, Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Oslo, London and Copenhagen.

Springsteen has won 20 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, two Golden Globes and a Special Tony Award. In 1999, Springsteen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — followed by The E Street Band at large in 2014 — as well as the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2013, he received a Kennedy Center Honor — and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian award, by President Barack Obama in 2016. In 2023, Springsteen was also honored by President Joe Biden at the White House with the 2021 National Medal of Arts.

Before the success and accolades, the fiercely loyal New Jerseyan first assembled The E Street Band on the state’s beaches and boardwalk clubs — featuring many members who still tour with him till this day. In 1999, after 10 years apart, Springsteen reconvened The E Street Band for a historic series of shows documented on the “Live in New York City” HBO special, DVD and album. Since the E Street reunion tour, Springsteen has toured consistently — usually with the band. Highlights have included the 2004 Vote for Change benefit tour, The Rising Tour in 2002 — including a record-breaking 10 nights at Giants Stadium — as well as the Wrecking Ball World Tour in 2012 and The River Tour in 2016, both of which were the highest-grossing tours of their respective years. According to Pollstar magazine, Springsteen is one of just four artists who have sold more than 20 million tickets since 1980.

Bruce Springsteen criticised for not cancelling Italy gig after deadly floods

Fans describe decision to go ahead as ‘outrageous’ and call on US star to reschedule Emilia-Romagna event

Bruce Springsteen has been criticised in Italy for going ahead with a concert in Ferrara on Thursday evening after the northern Emilia-Romagna region was hit by deadly floods .

Fans of “The Boss” urged him on social media to reconsider out of respect for the dead and homeless after torrential rains caused landslides and made rivers break their banks.

Massimiliano Zampini tweeted: “@springsteen please consider to reschedule your concert today. Surrounding areas have faced devastating floods. You should because: all emergency resources should be available in the affected area; we need to avoid massive traffic; out of respect for the victims.”

Cristiana Boi described the decision to go ahead with the show as outrageous, while Laura Casadei posted: “It is a scandal that they are doing Springsteen’s concert in Ferrara tonight. He will sing without an audience as all the main streets are blocked in several places.”

Springsteen’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ferrara, one of Emilia-Romagna’s main cities, has not been directly affected by the floods and its mayor, Alan Fabbri, defended the decision not to cancel the concert, which was expected to attract as many as 50,000 people.

“I am sorry if anyone may have thought that Ferrara was insensitive to the tragedy in Romagna just because it did not cancel the concert of The Boss,” he posted on Facebook.

A concert, “given its enormous complexity, cannot be postponed or cancelled” at short notice after having involved thousands of workers and tourists arriving in the city, he said.

The floods led authorities to call off Sunday’s F1 Grand Prix at Imola, which is close to many of the areas worst hit by the flooding. Organisers said it was not possible to hold the event safely.

Italian mayor defends Bruce Springsteen’s Ferrara concert amid devastating floods

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Bruce Springsteen’s show in Ferrara, Italy, was scheduled to go on Thursday while much of northern Italy was battered by devastating floods.

The Boss faced mounting calls to cancel the concert in the Emilia-Romagna region out of respect for victims of the torrential downpours, which caused several deaths, landslides and broke riverbanks. Locals took to social media to voice their concerns and were shocked to see that Springsteen did not reschedule the Parco Urbano show that was expected to draw around 50,000 people. The BBC reported that counselor Anna Ferraresi accused local officials of disregarding the despair of thousands of people in the region.

A representative for Springsteen did not immediately respond Thursday to The Times’ request for comment.

Michelle Obama didn’t just attend a Springsteen concert in Barcelona. She sang backup

A video of Michelle Obama singing ‘Glory Days’ with Bruce Springsteen at a concert in Barcelona has gone viral on social media.

Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told La Repubblica on Thursday that the bad weather would certainly affect the outdoor show but that the area was not directly affected.

Ferrara’s mayor also came to the defense of the “Tougher Than the Rest” singer and the city’s decision not to cancel the concert, saying that Ferrara faced “intense days” but was not damaged by the floods.

“I am sorry if anyone may have thought that Ferrara was insensitive to the tragedy in Romagna just because it did not cancel the concert of The Boss,” Mayor Alan Fabbri wrote Thursday on Facebook . “But I can assure you that as a former mayor of Bondeno, who lived [through] the 2012 earthquake , on the front lines, I have never asked Italy or the Region to stop championships, events and production of companies in solidarity with us.”

Chris Martin says Bruce Springsteen’s rockin’ 73-year-old body inspired his new diet

Chris Martin noticed Bruce Springsteen, 73, was in great shape. Better shape than the 46-year-old Coldplay frontman — who is now copying dining tricks.

March 23, 2023

Fabbri said that “no one could have ever thought of such a moment when, two years ago, they began to lay the foundation for this concert.”

“A concert, considering its enormous complexity, cannot foresee any cancellations or cancellations after involving thousands of workers, and which sees thousands of tourists from all over the world flocking to the city who have bought a plane ticket, a hotel room for several days and have been planning for a long time in order to reach us.”

However, on Wednesday, Formula One called off its Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix due to the flooding, adding that canceling the race was the right decision “for everyone in the local communities and the F1 family.” The car race was set to take place in some of the worst-hit areas and was shut down to relieve pressure on emergency services.

The Associated Press reported that days of downpours caused rivers to swell in northern Italy on Tuesday and has forced some residents to rooftops in the region. In Venice, authorities prepared to activate a mobile barrier in the lagoon in hopes of sparing the city from a rare May high-tide flooding. Reuters said that at least 13 people have died.

The new 2024 shows follow a huge run of shows that Springsteen played across the UK earlier this year including his concerts in Edinburgh and Birmingham and a two-night headline slot at London’s BST Hyde Park .

It also follows The Boss being forced to postpone the remainder of his upcoming 2023 tour dates due to a continuous battle with peptic ulcer disease.

The rock veteran – now aged 74 – had initially fallen ill with a then-undisclosed illness back in August that resulted in two cancelled Philadelphia shows. Three weeks later, all of Springsteen’s September tour dates were postponed when it was revealed that the singer had been diagnosed with peptic ulcers.

Earlier this month he rescheduled the affected US tour dates and confirmed to fans that he’d be embarking on the tour between March and September 2024 instead. You can find any remaining tickets to US shows here .

In other Springsteen news, the singer, songwriter and guitarist praised his wife and bandmate Patti Scialfa as he inducted her into the New Jersey Hall Of Fame .

The rock legend – who was also honoured by the Hall of Fame in 2008 – described her as his “secret weapon” as he gave her the award at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

Steven Van Zandt says E Street Band 'had no idea how much pain' Bruce Springsteen was in before tour

Posted: November 6, 2023 | Last updated: November 6, 2023

Bruce Springsteen 's struggle with peptic ulcer disease was a surprise to fans and his bandmates, Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band revealed.

"I got to tell you the truth, we had no idea how much pain (Bruce Springsteen) was in," Van Zandt told USA TODAY's EntertainThis! at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Friday. "We were just as surprised as everyone else to learn the extent of his illness."

Springsteen and the E Street Band performed three shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and two at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts earlier this year before they postponed their tour until next year as the frontman recovers. "It was remarkable when we found out that he had been in pain for five shows at least, he is just a tough guy," Van Zandt said.

The guitarist added that Springsteen was likely motivated by the crowd to continue for as long as he did. "The adrenaline, I'm sure helps, and the enthusiasm of the audience helps. But many came to me after those shows (and said) they were the best shows they've ever seen," Van Zandt said.

Today, Van Zandt said The Boss "is all good now" and the band plans to " come back stronger than ever in March."

In late September, Springsteen postponed the remainder of his 2023 concerts with the E Street Band to be treated for peptic ulcer disease.

Earlier that month,  Springsteen announced he was delaying all of his September shows  under the advice of doctors.

In a post to his Instagram on Sept. 27, the legendary rocker shared that while his condition has improved over the past few weeks, doctors said he needs to continue treatment through the end of the year. All postponed dates will be rescheduled for 2024 at their original venues, the statement said.

Bruce Springsteen postpones 2023 tour to treat peptic ulcer disease

“Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year," Springsteen said in the post.

Peptic ulcers are typically characterized by severe abdominal pain and are described as open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach and upper portion of the small intestine. The most common cause is a bacterial infection that eats away at the protective lining of the digestive system.

The Boss isn’t quite ready to hit “Thunder Road” just yet.

Steven Van Zandt revealed Friday during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony that E Street frontman Bruce Springsteen, 74, is in “great shape” amid his battle with peptic ulcer disease .

“We’re gonna come back stronger than ever in March,” Zandt, 72, told People . “It was a very, very intense first six months of the tour — maybe our most intense ever.”

“And so we’re gonna come back with that same intensity, and it’s gonna be great,” Zandt added.

According to the guitarist, the band’s enduring popularity onstage has been “wonderful.”

“Well, it’s wonderful, isn’t it,” Zandt gushed to the outlet. “Because we were gone for seven years. So, you know, we weren’t really sure what was gonna happen.”

He added: “It could have been like, ‘E Street who?’” 

“But we came back stronger than ever in terms of the business, in terms of enthusiasm. Everything sold out immediately,” the music icon continued. “So it was a wonderful surprise and, I think, just a tribute to the craft.”

Zandt said that the band had spent “so much time honing the craft” and that Springsteen’s songs “just hold up so well.”

“And look [at] what’s happening this week, in the past two weeks. We had a  new Rolling Stones record , a new Beatles record  … It just shows that people who work on their craft tend to last a while,” Zandt continued.

The Post reached out to Springsteen for comment.

Zandt’s remarks come a month after Springsteen, who was diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease in September, announced that he would be rescheduling the remainder of their 2023 tour dates.

“Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,” read a statement on the “Born To Run” singer’s Instagram on Sept. 27. “We’ve been having a blast at our US shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon. Love and God bless all, Bruce.”

Last month, Springsteen went on to say he was “deeply sorry” about the change in plans while appearing on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio show “ From My Home to Your s.”

“Let me take a moment and thank my fans affected by our postponed shows for their understanding,” he said. “I am deeply sorry but this belly thing, despite my ability to laugh at it, has been a monster and is still unfortunately rocking my internal world.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic , the main symptom of a peptic ulcer is a sharp, burning pain in the stomach which can be aggravated by consuming spicy or acidic foods.

In a severe case, symptoms include vomiting, vomiting blood, dark blood in stools or stool that appears to be black and tar-like. Others affected said they had trouble breathing, felt faint, nausea or vomiting, unexplained weight loss and changes in appetite.
