Bruce Springsteen UK tour: Springsteen to return to Edinburgh - as tickets go on sale

Forty one years ago, Springsteen played two nights at Edinburgh Playhouse – his first ever gigs in Scotland.

And now The Boss is set to return to the Capital with his full band since those now-legendary shows.

The 72-year-old musical icon from New Jersey said he was looking forward to seeing his “great and loyal fans” on the tour, which will span the US and Europe.

This UK leg of the tour will see Springsteen and The E Street Band perform across multiple venues around the UK including Edinburgh BT Murrayfield Stadium.

The legendary band will also play Birmingham Villa Park, and two special back-to-back dates in London for the American Express presents BST Hyde Park.

These 2023 dates will mark the first live shows for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band since the conclusion of their 14-month, worldwide The River Tour in Australia in February 2017.
