Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band’s European Stadium Tour Called "The Greatest Show On Earth" (Billboard) With More Than 1.6 Million Tickets Sold
Career Highs Continue With Springsteen's Return To North America For 31 Tour Dates Kicking Off August 9
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s triumphant return to Europe was met with over a million and a half tickets sold, and widespread praise as the best shows of the band’s career. With a finale to over 70,000 in Monza, Italy; the fourteen-country tour included multi-night stands in each of Barcelona, Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Oslo, London and Copenhagen. In London’s Hyde Park, Springsteen and The E Street Band performed to over 130,000 across two nights - backed by The E Street Horns and The E Street Choir - with The Telegraph declaring “Springsteen is at the peak of his powers” in a five-star review, and USA Today urging audiences to “run, don’t walk, to see Springsteen” when he returns to North America next month. That momentum will continue with 31 more tour dates before the end of the year, beginning with two nights at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on August 9 and 11 and wrapping at San Francisco’s Chase Center on December 10 and 12. Multiple-night runs are also scheduled for Philadelphia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Toronto and Los Angeles.
