From a recent press release:

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND KICK OFF 2024 WORLD TOUR THIS MONTH; OPENING SHOW SET FOR MARCH 19 IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA

NEW CAREER-SPANNING BEST OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN COLLECTION ARRIVES APRIL 19 FROM SONY MUSIC

HEADLINING SET AT ASBURY PARK’S SEA.HEAR.NOW FESTIVAL JUST ANNOUNCED FOR SEPTEMBER 15

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band return to the road on March 19, building on a triumphant 2023 hailed as “a masterclass in the uplifting power of rock-and-roll” (Washington Post). Kicking off in Phoenix, Arizona – the 2024 world tour will find Springsteen and The E Street Band delivering their “ecstatic and emotional” (Rolling Stone) live performances in 17 countries, taking place through late November. Earlier today, the number of 2024 dates expanded to 52 – with the addition of a hometown Asbury Park headlining show at the Sea.Hear.Now Festival on September 15.

This extensive international tour arrives on the heels of Bruce Springsteen performing at the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year ceremony, the 17th Annual Stand Up For Heroes benefit, and at the New Jersey Hall of Fame induction honoring Patti Scialfa. Springsteen has also made appearances at the 81st Golden Globe Awards (where he was nominated for Best Original Song for “Addicted To Romance”), as well as alongside Darlene Love to present her with a Platinum record for “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and multiple events at the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music on the campus of Monmouth University. After being diagnosed with a peptic ulcer last year, Springsteen announced he was symptom free on the November 20 episode of his E Street Radio show ‘From My Home To Yours.’ Advertisement

The recently-announced Best Of Bruce Springsteen collection will also arrive this spring, a career-spanning celebration of Springsteen’s original music out April 19 – bringing together his early-career favorites, live staples, best-selling breakouts and recent releases for the first time. Arriving via Sony Music, Best Of Bruce Springsteen captures a 50-year body of work that has earned him honors and accolades including 20 GRAMMY Awards, an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, a special Tony Award, the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, a Kennedy Center Honor and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. It has also made Springsteen one of the world’s most in-demand artists – topping 140 million records sold across the globe, more than 70 million in the United States alone, and becoming the first artist in history with a Top Five album in six consecutive decades.

Beginning on March 19, the opening leg of Springsteen and The E Street Band’s 2024 tour will include ten U.S. performances that were rescheduled from 2023, and a newly-added Las Vegas stop at T-Mobile Arena. The band’s remaining rescheduled North America dates will take place from August 15 through November 22 following a return to Europe for 26 more shows this summer. The European tour will follow up a successful trip to the continent last year, which sold over 1.6 million tickets and earned widespread praise as some of the best shows of the band’s career, with Billboard deeming it “the greatest show on earth.” Across the entire year, and despite the postponed North American dates, Springsteen and The E Street Band’s international run finished as the #3 tour of 2023 per Pollstar, behind only Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
