Bruce Springsteen Reveals Tour Details

Bruce Springsteen, E Street Band reveal tour details



Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced the dates for their first full-scale tour of the US and Europe since 2003.

The North American leg launches Oct. 2 in Hartford, CT--the same day the band's new album, "Magic," is set to drop. The outing is scheduled to visit 16 cities from coast to coast, including two-night stands at East Rutherford, NJ's Continental Airlines Arena and New York City's Madison Square Garden. The itinerary is listed below. Ticket sales begin Sept. 8, according to a press release.

When the US/Canadian run wraps Nov. 18 in Boston, The Boss and company will head for Europe. Those dates can be found at Springsteen's website.

On tour, Springsteen will be joined by E Street Band keyboardist Roy Bittan, saxman/percussionist Clarence Clemons, keyboardist Danny Federici, guitarist Nils Lofgren, vocalist/guitarist Patti Scialfa, bassist Garry Tallent, guitarist Steven Van Zandt and drummer Max Weinberg.

"Magic" is Springsteen's first new studio recording with the E Street Band since 2002's Grammy-winning, multi-platinum album "The Rising." The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's longtime manager, Jon Landau, described the record in a statement as "a high energy rock CD," adding, "It's light on its feet, incredibly well played by Bruce and the members of the E Street Band, and, as always, has plenty to say."

The set's first single, "Radio Nowhere," is available free for one week via Apple's iTunes Music Store starting today (8/28).
