I'm assuming this is with the E-Street Band, given the venues?

This is GREAT news,after rhe BIG MAN passed away i thought that might be the end of E Street.
Been following Bruce since 1975,have seen every tour in UK & Ireland.
They usually play 2 nights at RDS Dublin,here's hoping,if not trip across water required.

I have never seen him but he is next on my list so if he comes to Ireland I will do what ever it takes to get tickets.

The album has been recorded at Thrill Hill studio, Bruce's home studio - it has been recorded in total secrecy.

Rolling Stone's - all things Springsteen Journalist Andy Greene - said "They've done a remarkable job keeping a lid on the details of this new Springsteen album. Does anyone know one single thing about it?"

All I know is that Ron Aniello is the producer.

The press release looks like the Tour will reach stadiums outside Europe and the US also, rumours of South America, Australia etc.

I fancy seeing him at the Nou Camp in Barcelona.

Funnily enough, GL, I saw Bruce in your neck of the woods in the 80s. St James' Park. Amazing gig.

Thanks for the updates, everybody. This is great news, a tour and a new album. I'm hoping to see the Manchester show. Bruce is definitely on my must see list ... heck, he is my must see list!

In 1985 I take it, was there too, June if I remember rightly, saw him a month later at Wembley Stadium as well.

I saw them a couple of years ago at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Absolutely amazing and I just went to accompany my boyfriend. Now I can't wait to see them again!

But no Scotland gig but I can handle a trip to Sunderland

It was indeed. And whilst trying to find the correct entrance I literally bumped into Bob Geldof outside the ground! Contrary to his public image he was sweet as pie and actually apologised to me! I later read that he had traveled up with the intention of inviting Bruce onto Live Aid but chickened out at the last minute! Geldof overawed by anyone? The man who called that War Lord a C*** to his face?? Apparently so. Bruce missing from Live aid was a glaring omission IMO. I was told he donated his stage at Wembley to the show but no idea if that is true.

Yes, the stage was Bruce's. The date of Live Aid was changed to accommodate him, then he decided to stay home with his new wife, so he gave them the stage and equipment instead.

Seen Bruce over 40 times and still excited like the first time for the new tour..

Vodaphone have them on the 1st if you are a customer, otherwise Ticketmaster will sell them on the 3rd.

If you just go to a valid agent like TM, See Tickets, The Hard Rock Calling website you will be fine.

As long as you get your numbers sorted, you will get tickets no problem. Many fans of his travel all over Europe and the world, but he's playing with the exception of France nothing but Stadiums in Europe, so there will be space for all.
