Bruce Springsteen Tour 2024: E Street Band headed to Europe during 2024 World Tour
Europe is a go.
On Halloween, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band announced 22 shows in the spring and summer of 2024 in the United Kingdom and Europe.
On Wednesday, Nov. 1 fans started purchasing tickets via pre-sales.
“Wembley, Cardiff and Prague in the bag,” commented a fan Wednesday on Facebook, with a smiley face.
The shows begin May 5 at Cardiff, Wales, and wrap up July 25 at Wembley Stadium in London. Ticket prices range from $90 to $218, once converted to American dollars, for the Wembley show, according to social media postings.
The upcoming tour includes three shows in Ireland.
“Oh my so who else is planning a week in Ireland next May?” commented a fan.

Fan Howard Bloom from Ottawa, Ontario, will be flying to Milan, where the E Street Band is playing June 12 and 14 at San Siro Stadium.
“I booked a hotel and I'm heading to San Siro,” said Bloom via email, adding that Milan and Israel are the two places left on his Bruce Bucket List. “I'm not a fan of stadium shows, but this is the one place I can go where Bruce and the E Street Band will be.”
The European tour announcement, billed as the 2024 World Tour, comes after 24 North American shows postponed earlier this year were rescheduled for the spring and summer of 2024 due to Springsteen recovering from a bout with peptic ulcer disease.
“It's better this week than it was last, and I want to thank everyone for their support and well wishes,” said Springsteen Oct. 9 on his SiriusXM “From My Home to Yours” show, which was taped two weeks ago. “We will see you in the new year and we will bring it to you in your town at the top of our game — there's no other way.”
The last E Street Band show was a triumphal Sept. 3 show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Steven Van Zandt said thay the Boss was playing in “pain” at MetLife on the Naked Lunch podcast.
“You have to give him credit because most people say that last show we did was the best show they've ever seen,” Van Zandt said.
Springsteen made two unannounced public appearances over the weekend, first on Oct. 28 at the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music symposium marking the 50th anniversary of “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” at Monmouth University in West Long Branch. He appeared on two panels.
On Oct. 29, the Boss inducted his wife, E Street Band member Patti Scialfa, into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He also sang backup with Scialfa, Van Zandt and Tony Orlando for a rendition of “With a Little Help from My Friends” by the evening's house band.
Fans in the U.S. are hopeful more dates will be added for 2024.
“I can’t see him passing over New Jersey and New York, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see a few more added,” said Brandon Thompson of Blog It All Night. “Hopefully markets like Nashville that they missed the first time around get some shows as well.”
Before then, Van Zandt told the USA Today Network NJ that he and the Disciples of Soul will be accompanying Darlene Love on the Friday, Dec. 15, broadcast of “The View” as she sings “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”
