Ever since Springsteen’s Rock In Rio date was announced last fall fans speculated as to whether the tour would end in South America or if more U.S. shows would be slotted around the Rio stop.

Launching in early 2012, the “Wrecking Ball” tour has reached fans in more countries than any previous Springsteen outing. By the time the final encore notes at Rock In Rio are scattered to the wind Springsteen & E Street will have played 133 shows in 26 countries. That adds up to 3.5 million tickets sold to fans.
