if they use the same venue set up as the last Cardiff gig, then they basically just used half the venue and had the rest curtained off.

it was actually really fantastic as even tho it was in a stadium if felt like a small show - was one of my best Bruce gigs ever.

No, it's the full stadium this time

[henry bear]

I suspect the TM one is more accurate

something else that pisses me off these days is how they never actually put the cost of tickets on anything until you get through to the payment stage.

the promoters are well aware that the prices are absolutely f**king disgusting.

if they thought prices were fair and reasonable they would not try so hard to hide them and stand by them.

 

The artist can choose not to do golden circles / surge pricing etc

Its not all to do with the promoter by any means - its not like golden circles are a new thing and artists keep choosing to do them

Cardiff, Sunderland or Wembley.....tough choice for me.  Even though closest Cardiff is an utter nightmare travel wise, Sunderland is like the other end of the world, and although Wembley is do-able I've never rated the acoustics as being anything special.....

None of the UK or Ireland dates being on a weekend f**king sucks.  Toying with Milano.

Madrid and Helsinki on Fridays too. Never been to Helsinki.

That definitely is a GSH, isn't it.

Springsteen remains my favourite live performer ever, sooooo.... yeah, this is the good stuff.

Highly unlikely imo.......Friday 28th would be a back to back with Netherlands (not happening), and either Sat 29th or Sunday 30th would both leave just 1 night between gigs in other countries which doesn't happen anywhere else on the schedule.

but it IS a new thing for Bruce, and i can't imagine anything happens at a show without him choosing to do so.

Do you need a separate Ticketmaster Ireland account for the Dublin gig? I do know a UK account doesn’t cover everywhere (ie the States).

Where's the rumoured Manchester date? Please someone stop me seeing Bruce yet again, It's an addiction!

No idea sorry! Intel I had was Sunderland, Cardiff, Wembley and one of Manchester or Liverpool. Unsure why a North West never materialised though

TM Ireland is covered by the UK.

Yeah but its an easy old drive for the road crew. 8 hours overnight is nothing to these road hoggs.

Beautiful days on sale on Monday

Just to head straight back where they came from the next day...

Will there be more dates? June has a lot spare time.

Yep. And they'll still have 2-3 days before the next gig.

Bruce flew 7000 miles for 2 songs last year.

Possible yes...perhaps that's where he might slot in the rumoured Manchester date.....

Irrelevant as that wasn't during a wider tour.

Arguably meant it was even more of a stretch for him.

[NorthernSoul52]

It seems bizarre that there is not an M62 date (Etihad Stadium or Anfield) after speculation, but at the same time, I'm really struggling to understand why it would have been held back, even if dates were drip-fed last year.

The announcement here felt definitive in a way. I think the only show that would be added would either be Glastonbury and/or a second night at Wembley to wrap up the tour.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Lack of a Hampden show is annoying too.

Agreed....there's space in June for it but holding it back makes little sense unless official sellers of the other UK dates (TM and AEG) have insisted on their dates getting priority.

Not really, he wanted to be there for his mate's big gig. If he wanted to play Glastonbury this year surely he'd schedule to fit it in with two days off either end, the same as he has for the rest of his tour.
