Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced additional concerts for their 2025 tour. The summer shows in the U.K. and Europe, revealed on October 1, 2024, join four other concerts that had previously been rescheduled overseas. Each of the just-added performances will bring them to cities they haven’t yet played during their 2023-2024 tour. (In October 2024, Springsteen was forced to reschedule dates for the balance of his 2023 North American concerts due to the his recovery at the time from a peptic ulcer disease. That decision, citing “doctor’s advice” and “an abundance of caution” KO’d more than 20 shows while he was being treated.)
After their current break which followed an extensive U.S. tour, the band will return to the stage on Oct. 31 for eight Canadian concerts. Tickets for these dates and the 2025 shows are available here.
The announcement of new 2025 tour dates arrives shortly before the release of Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, a Thom Zimny-directed film coming to Hulu and Disney+ on Oct. 25.
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. Springsteen turned 75 on September 23, 2024.

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.
