Bruce Springsteen Is Coming To Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are coming to the streets of Brooklyn.

The group will take to the Barclays Center stage on April 3 as part of its long-awaited North American tour, which includes 31 national stops between February and April followed by a leg in Europe, the group announced Tuesday.

An April 1 show at Madison Square Garden is also part of the tour.

The two-and-a-half-month outing is the band's first since 2017, and Springsteen's first national tour since 2016.

Some parts of the United States are notably missing from the tour list — like Los Angeles and much of the Southwest — but could be included in a second, soon-to-be-announced North American tour leg following the summer 2023 European run, the group said.

Springsteen and the E Street Band also plan to tour the UK next year and announced shows soon, according to the news release.

Tickets for next year's Springsteen show in Brooklyn will be available as of Friday, July 29 at 10 a.m. online, on a first-come, first-served basis.

For the show in New York City, though, the tour is using Ticketmaster's Verified Fan platform — a system that requires concert-goers to register in advance (New Yorkers have between now and July 17) to be entered in a random lottery to buy tickets.

Everyone who registers has a chance to get an access code to purchase tickets (up to four per-person), but not everyone will be able to, according to Ticketmaster. The platform aims to keep bots out of the ticket-buying process.

Those who get a code for the New York City show will get a chance to buy tickets between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on July 29.

If there are any tickets left (which seems unlikely), they will go on sale to the general public at 3 p.m. the same day — no code required.
