Bruce Springsteen Adds Homecoming Festival Spot to World Tour, Sets ‘Best Of’ Release

The Boss is back, and he’s heading home.

As previously reported, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will hit the road for their latest world tour, kicking off March 19 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ and stretching across 52 dates in 17 countries.

One of those dates is a recent addition. Springsteen and Co. are now booked for a homecoming spot headlining the second of two nights at the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, set for Sept. 15 at Asbury Park, New Jersey (“Stick Season” singer Noah Kahan will headline the previous day’s program).

The 74-year-old rock legend singer is now symptom free from a peptic ulcer disease that plagued him last year, forcing the band off the road and postponing a long run of shows into 2024. Those postponed dates are worked into the forthcoming tour, set to wrap up Nov. 22 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Springsteen warmed up the trek with performances at the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year gala, the 17th annual Stand Up For Heroes benefit and at the New Jersey Hall of Fame induction honoring Patti Scialfa.

To celebrate the trans-Atlantic tour dates, Springsteen’s longtime label home Sony Music will release a career-spanning collection of the Rock And Roll Hall of Famer’s original music, on April 19.

The Best of Bruce Springsteen will house 31 songs in digital formats. Sony Music will also issue an 18-track set across two LPs or one CD. The vinyl edition will also be available as an Amazon exclusive “color variant,” reps say.
