Lauded by Rolling Stone as “the embodiment of rock & roll,” with more than 140 million records sold around the globe and more than 70 million in the United States, Bruce Springsteen is one of the world’s best-selling artists. Long recognized as an incomparable live performer, Springsteen returned to the road with The E Street Band in 2023 for the first time since the conclusion of The River Tour — a 14-month run named 2016’s top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar. Continuing into 2024, the World Tour has been called “the greatest show on earth” by Billboard and “a master class in the uplifting power of rock-and-roll” by The Washington Post.
In 2025, Springsteen and The E Street Band will return to Europe from May through early July - following up recent tours of the continent deemed “a spectacle of unadulterated joy and human connectedness" (The Telegraph) — while “reminding us … no one does it better” (The Times). Highlights have included multi-nights runs at London’s Wembley Stadium - celebrated as “a bar for live rock music that is surely impossible to match” (Classic Rock) - and Barcelona’s Estadi Olímpic, “unleashing euphoria” (El Correo) to over 130,000 fans. Springsteen and The E Street Band wrapped the U.S. leg of their 2024 World Tour with an Asbury Park, NJ homecoming concert — headlining Sea.Hear.Now for "an already legendary live set" (Variety) called “one of the greatest post-reunion shows in Springsteen history” (Rolling Stone) before closing out the year with eight shows in Canada.
Springsteen has won 20 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, two Golden Globes and a Special Tony Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 — followed by The E Street Band at large in 2014 — as well as the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2013, he received a Kennedy Center Honor — and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian award, by President Barack Obama in 2016. In 2023, Springsteen was also honored by President Joe Biden at the White House with the 2021 National Medal of Arts.
Before the success and accolades, the fiercely loyal New Jerseyan first assembled The E Street Band on the state’s beaches and boardwalk clubs — featuring many members who still tour with him till this day. In 1999, after 10 years apart, Springsteen reconvened The E Street Band for a historic series of shows documented on the “Live in New York City” HBO special, DVD and album. Since the E Street reunion tour, Springsteen has toured consistently — usually with the band. Highlights have included The Rising Tour in 2002-03 — featuring a record-breaking 10 nights at Giants Stadium — the 2004 Vote for Change benefit tour, and the Wrecking Ball World Tour; named the highest-grossing tour of 2012. According to Pollstar, Springsteen is one of just four artists who has sold more than 20 million tickets since 1980.
