Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced 22 additional concerts for their 2024 tour. The summer shows in the U.K., Ireland, and Europe, were revealed on Oct. 31. On Oct. 6, Springsteen revealed the rescheduled dates for the balance of his 2023 North American concerts that were postponed due to the legend’s continued recovery from a peptic ulcer disease. That decision, citing “doctor’s advice” and “an abundance of caution” KO’d more than 20 shows that were supposed to run through December 10. On Sept. 6, Springsteen postponed all of his remaining September concerts while being treated. The band was already scheduled to take a break during October before resuming with another run of concerts in November and December. Those are all pushed back to 2024; see the revised dates below.
In a Sept. 27 post, Springsteen wrote, “Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to see you all next year.”
Springsteen’s earlier statement on Sept. 6 noted: “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows. First, apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support. We’ve been having a blast at our U.S. shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon. Love and God bless all, Bruce.”
Most recently, Springsteen and the E Street Band had done three concerts at Metlife Stadium in E. Rutherford, N.J. The most recent was on Sept. 3. Just days before, he had announced the first 2024 dates of his international tour. They’re actually the two concerts in Philadelphia that were originally planned for August 2023. The pair of shows at Citizens Bank Park were abruptly postponed when the Boss took ill. Those two concerts are scheduled for August 2024, leading to speculation that Springsteen and his band will move the rest of the 2023 postponed shows to then. The tour began on Feb. 1 and continued in U.S. arenas through mid April. A second leg, of European stadium concerts followed, beginning on April 28 and concluding on July 25. A run of U.S. stadiums took place over the summer. After a break, they were scheduled to resume on Nov. 3 with arena concerts in Canada, finishing with shows in the U.S. on December 10. See the itinerary below. The original news of the tour arrived at the stroke of midnight ET on May 24, 2022.
The 2023 dates marked the first live shows for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band since the conclusion of their 14-month, worldwide The River Tour in February 2017. The River Tour was named 2016’s top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar.

Since the E Street Band’s last tour ended on Feb. 25, 2017, in New Zealand of all places, Springsteen had two lengthy runs of Springsteen on Broadway, his one-man show of songs and stories. He’s also appeared as a guest at numerous one-off events. Before the current tour, the band’s last U.S. performance was on Sept. 14, 2016, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

Jump into a conversationStill no England on that list (not to mention Scotland & Wales as well) – personally I think Bruce should make it up to us (in England) by doing a few smaller scale gigs in Brighton (maybe the Dome?) come on Bruce, do the right thing…
will Bruce and the band play in Las Vegas for the first time since 2002 ? Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena are waiting, time to end the 20 year boycott.
GIVE ME AMERICA DATES
Springsteen was never the future of rock & roll but he is a great artist, performer. He is so overrated by the media along with his fans that it’s pathetic.
You say he is great then overrated. By who, you ? Selling out stadiums & arenas all over the world after a 50 year plus career. The only pathetic one is you with your absurd comment.
