Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have announced the initial dates for their 2023 world tour. “The Boss” will kick off the year in North America next February with a string of arena dates still yet to be announced, followed by three months in Europe playing stadiums across the continent and hitting Spain, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria, and Germany.
The opening night of the European leg is set for April 28th in Barcelona, Spain at Estadi Olímpic. The concerts mark the E Street Band's first road trek since the 2016/2017 tour behind The River. They last played together on December 20th, 2020, when they served as the musical guest on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
Springsteen said in the tour announcement: “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.”
