Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band will make their long-awaited return to the road in February 2023 for the first time since early 2017, the band confirmed on Tuesday. The world tour will feature a string of to-be-announced U.S. arena dates followed by a trip to Europe in the spring and summer and a second North American run in fall.
While the U.S. and North American runs are still not finalized, Springsteen has confirmed 19 dates throughout Europe beginning in April 2023 and running through July. The international dates include stops in Barcelona, Dublin, Paris, Ferrara, Rome, Amsterdam, Landgraaf, Zurich, Düsseldorf, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Vienna, Munich, and Monza. The band will add more shows in the U.K. and Belgium at a later date.
“After six years, I’m looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year,” Springsteen said. “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.”

These concerts will mark the ensemble’s first together since wrapping the mammoth 14-month The River Tour in Australia in February 2017. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band reportedly planned a 2020 tour behind the previous year’s Letter To You but were able to stage only one performance together—on Saturday Night Live—after the tour was scrapped due to the pandemic.
The Boss kept busy, however, collaborating with former President Barack Obama on the book Renegades: Born In The USA and helping reopen New York City theaters last year with his 31-show Springsteen On Broadway residency at the St. James Theatre. Despite staying off the road, Springsteen still took in a healthy payday last year by reportedly selling his publishing rights to Sony for $500 million.
