Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Add 22 North American Arena And Stadium Dates To 2023 Tour
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band add 22 arena and stadium dates in 18 cities to their acclaimed 2023 international tour, starting Aug. 9 in Chicago’s Wrigley Field and running through Dec. 9 in San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Multiple nights are on the books at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park (Aug. 16-18), New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium (Aug. 31-Sept. 1), Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (Nov. 14-16), and Inglewood, California’s Kia Forum (Dec. 4-6).
Ticket onsales for the new shows are staggered over the course of two weeks (see itinerary below for specific dates and cities). Tickets for Wrigley Field and Citizens Bank Park will be sold directly by the stadiums.
Verified Fan pre-registration is open Sunday Feb. 19 at 11:59 p.m. While preregistration doesn’t guarantee a ticket, it is intended, according to the band’s press release “to make it easier for fans to get tickets, and harder for resellers and bots.” A blog explaining the process can be found at Ticketmaster’s website.
The staggered onsale appear to be an adjustment – and a concession to upset fans – to that of the first leg of Springsteen’s North American tour. The onsale was plagued by complaints about ticket price fluctuations because of the dynamic pricing system, which caused tickets prices for some prized seats to skyrocket under the initial demand.
But reviews from the early Florida and Texas dates have been glowing, even with three key E Streeters – Steve Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren and Soozie Tyrell – being waylaid by COVID, according to family members via social media.
Springsteen made his first appearance on Pollstar’s Artist Power Index after launching the North American leg with the E Street Band at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Feb. 1. He had the 12th highest Live score among touring artists after four arena shows.

Springsteen & Company have been a touring force throughout the Polltar Era, and show no signs of slowing down. Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band ranked No. 9 on Pollstar‘s list of the Top Touring Artists of The Decade, grossing $729,789,815 between 2010-2019.
Touring together for the first time since 2017, they currently have 31 shows planned at arenas stateside through mid-April, then a brief break before beginning a stretch of 31 more shows in Europe at the end of that month. The European tour, booked in stadiums this summer, will also include festival headlining stints at the TW Classic in Werchter, Belgium and London’s BST Hyde Park.
