Bruce Springsteen – Hitting North America, Europe This Fall
Billboard.com reports: As expected, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND will tour North America and Europe before the end of the year in support of their new album, “Magic.” The trek begins on street date for the Columbia set (Oct. 2) in Hartford, Conn., with North American shows wrapping Nov. 18 in Boston. A European leg begins a week later in Madrid.
In addition, the new album’s first single, “Radio Nowhere,” is available as a free download for a week beginning today (Aug. 28) via the iTunes store. Fans can also pre-order “Magic” and receive the single plus access to its video and a digital booklet.
In an interview with noted fan site Backstreets, Springsteen says this will not be his final tour with the E STREET BAND, which hasn’t been on the road with him since 2004. “I envision the band carrying on for many, many, many more years,” he says. “There ain’t gonna be any farewell tour. That’s the only thing I know for sure.”
Of “Magic,” he says, “It’s just built” to be played live. “I wrote with a lot of melody, and with a lot of hooks, and there’s a lot of band power behind the stuff that I wrote this time out.”
