Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

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.

Maybe a second date in Barca as well. I do think most of those days off in June are designated for a Spanish beach rather than anything tour related.

Lack of a Hampden show is annoying too.

I’d agree with that, his last two gigs there were tremendous

Info I've got is there will be more dates added but not in different cities/venues to the ones already announced.

Sounds like a second Wembley on the Saturday.

Cannot see second dates added for the shows around the GSH though, which lends further weight for me.

Cardiff has £65.00 seats, £120.00 standing

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.

That worked really well, should definitely be considered by more bands IMO.

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.....

Wembley is horrible. But it looks like being the last night of the European tour (either the one announced or rumoured 2nd date).

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

It's worth it. The Italian crowds are something else.

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.

Milan only has 1 night off. Agree though, he's not coming to Glastonbury. If I get tickets I will hope I'm wrong.

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

They were rumoured to be looking at using the new arena for tour rehearsals before all the plans changed. That would have been late April 2024. With the rescheduled dates I imagine that's gone out of the window. Could be a later addition maybe?

We got any other presale for Bruce in Cardiff apart from LiveNation on Thurs morning?

Think theres a few additions to come. Rock in Rio Lisbon has 2 free dates 22/23 June so I'd imagine thats one, as well as a hevaily rumoured San Sebastian date on June 18

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

Bruce flew 7000 miles for 2 songs last year.

He only flew from Paris, he was there watching Jessica

Oh yeah, true. 

So similar distance again this time.

Yeah definitely. I’m convinced it’s not him though. Just doesn’t fit.

[charlierc]

I'm not 100% convinced - a GSH is there, sure, and Glastonbury to Werchter isn't a huge trek, but this seems like a much more spread out schedule and I'm not sure if he'll add it in.

Possible, but not entirely unreasonable to be doubtful.

There's also the 'big American star' phonecall.

It's reasonable to assume that that doesn't refer to P!nk or Wee Willie Winkie from Green Day.

Can you imagine the disappointment if we get the "working man's club" singer instead of Madonna and/or Gaga.

The "phone call" is an interesting wrinkle (as I'm sure Emily intended it to be) that could work either way.

It could be that once an act firmed up their schedule, they decided that they had a suitable opportunity to play Glastonbury despite not having originally factored it in - the Springsteen tour would fit that both in the tour scheduling and the timings involved. Even the fact that the spacing between dates wouldn't exactly match what they've done elsewhere fits the story if that's how it came about.

Alternatively it could be someone who's only just started the process of laying out a tour for next summer and was looking to see what options are available and when. A Madonna or Lady Gaga tour could potentially match that.

Don't think there's much scope for it to be anything in between those. Obviously if Glastonbury is being factored in from the start then it becomes something of an unmovable date in the schedule.

[OllieMadd]

I’m happy with any of these. Bruce is an all timer of mine but love Madge and Gaga. I’d even go and see Pink. 
 

Now watch us get Dua Lipa, Coldplay & Blackpink

Well that's an open one. Madonna was what I thought that meant, though could be Gaga, could be Pink, could be Bruce. Any one of those 4 would draw a crowd in fairness.

I doubt it's Green Day because that would've been trailed as a "Big American band" rather than being an individual star.

[OllieMadd]

Green day probs my ultimate choice for Churnups style show if we don’t think they’re headlining

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gaga, Madge and the Boss are stars.

Pink and plastic punk fannybaws are whatever the opposite of that is.

That's not steep, it's vertical. Seems the UK is going to be the most expensive part of the tour.
