Bruce Springsteen has announced a 2023 tour, which marks the long-awaited live return of the E Street Band. The group’s tour—their first since The River tour wrapped up in 2017—kicks off in February 2023 in U.S. arenas, continues in European stadiums starting April 28, and continues with a North American run beginning in August. All U.S. dates will be announced at a later date, with additional UK and Belgium dates on the way as well.
“After six years, I’m looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year,” Springsteen said in a statement. “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!”
The European dates include shows in Barcelona, Dublin, Paris, Ferrara, Rome, Amsterdam, Landgraaf, Zurich, Düsseldorf, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Vienna, Munich and Monza.
Springsteen has remained busy in the years since he last went on the road with Stevie Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, Patti Sciafla, Roy Bittan, Gary Tallent, Nils Lofgren, and the rest. He launched a Broadway show, which got an accompanying Netflix film and earned him a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award.
He released two solo albums: 2019’s Western Stars and 2020’s Letter to You, which both also got accompanying films. He starred in a Jeep commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and was briefly pulled after news emerged of a DWI charge (which was later dismissed). He also put out a podcast and book with President Barack Obama. Last year, Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts was released as an album and film.
