New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band Deliver A Blistering 29-Song Return In Phoenix, Arizona - 'Unmatched By Any Other Outfit On The Road' (Billboard)
2024 World Tour Runs Through November With Over 50 Shows In 17 Countries
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band kicked off their 2024 World Tour at Phoenix, Arizona's Footprint Center last night, a "triumphant reboot" (Associated Press) of their legendary live performances. Playing for nearly three hours, Springsteen and The E Street Band opened the show with "Lonesome Day" - performed only four times on the 2023 tour - mixing setlist additions like "Spirit in the Night," "Night," "Two Hearts," "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)" and "Twist and Shout" (via request sign) with iconic live staples like "Thunder Road," "Dancing in the Dark," "Born to Run," "The Promised Land," "Backstreets," and "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)."
Opening night of the tour marked Springsteen and The E Street Band's first show back since postponing 2023 tour dates due to illness, with Billboard noting that Springsteen "returned at the top of his game." USA Today called the show "the stuff of legends," adding that "Springsteen and The E Street Band stretch the boundaries of what it means to prove it all night" - while Mojo deemed it "life-affirming" and "flawless."
The 2024 World Tour next stops at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on Friday night, before continuing across the United States through the end of April and heading to Europe for 26 more shows this summer - building on a successful trip to the continent last year, which sold over 1.6 million tickets. Springsteen and The E Street Band return to North America in the fall, playing dates through late November — including a hometown headlining set at Asbury Park's Sea.Hear.Now Festival on Sept. 15.
