The Boss is finally back on the road! Bruce Springsteen, who had to give up organizing a tour in 2021 then in 2022 due to the pandemic, has just announced an international tour with his faithful E Street Band, which will begin in the United States in February 2023 and will pass through the Europe in the spring for around twenty dates (see all the dates below).
The training will stop in Paris on May 13, 2023 at La Défense Arena, the only date in France. To obtain tickets, it is advisable to register on the concert hall website for pre-sales which begin on May 31, 2022 at 10 a.m.
“After six years, I can’t wait to see our big and loyal fans again next year.Springsteen, 72, said in a statement. I’m also looking forward to sharing the stage again with the legendary E Street Band. See you there, next year and beyond.”
On the release of his latest album letter to you in October 2020, Springsteen pointed out on Apple Music that these new songs “are great songs to play live“. And he added: “It’s very painful not to be able to play them in concert, because it will be incredible on stage“. There is no doubt about it.
The last time we saw the Boss with the E Street Band in the capital was in Bercy in July 2016 for The River Tour and it remains an unforgettable concert: for four hours, the native of New Jersey had made the electricity speak… until blowing up the lead in the hall. A power cut of about fifteen minutes during which he had not dismounted, undertaking with his musicians a walk in single file among the spectators while continuing to play, hugging people and signing autographs.
This will be Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band’s first tour since the end of the River Tour in 2017. Since then, the rocker has released the albums Western Stars (2019) and letter to you (2020) and he played an intimate show in residence on Broadway from October 2017 to December 2018, from which a documentary aired on Netflix.
Proof that he missed the stage, he had played with his group two new titles of Letter to youan album recorded in live conditions, at Saturday Night Live in December 2020. And another sign of his ants in his legs, he was the first star to perform on Broadway after confinement, in June 2021, for a cover of his residency over thirty dates.
The Boss will be surrounded on this tour by guitarists Steve Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren, pianist Roy Bittan, keyboard Charlie Giordano, bassist Gary Tallent, violinist Soozie Tyrell, drummer Max Weinberg and saxophonist Jake Clemmons, nephew of the late Clarence Clemmons.
