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.
Thank goodness Bruce is able to charge $1,000/tkt. For this tour. Especially since he was ONLY able to get $850/tkt for Springsteen on Broadway.
I was worried about him.
