Bruce Springsteen (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/43.html) and the E Street Band have announced the dates for their first full-scale tour of the US and Europe since 2003.
The North American leg launches Oct. 2 in Hartford, CT--the same day the band's new album, "Magic," is set to drop. The outing is scheduled to visit 16 cities from coast to coast, including two-night stands at East Rutherford, NJ's Continental Airlines Arena and New York City's Madison Square Garden. The itinerary is listed below. Ticket sales begin Sept. 8, according to a press release.
When the US/Canadian run wraps Nov. 18 in Boston, The Boss and company will head for Europe. Those dates can be found at Springsteen's website (http://www.brucespringsteen.net/).
On tour, Springsteen will be joined by E Street Band keyboardist Roy Bittan, saxman/percussionist Clarence Clemons, keyboardist Danny Federici, guitarist Nils Lofgren, vocalist/guitarist Patti Scialfa, bassist Garry Tallent, guitarist Steven Van Zandt and drummer Max Weinberg.
"Magic" is Springsteen's first new studio recording with the E Street Band since 2002's Grammy-winning, multi-platinum album "The Rising." The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's longtime manager, Jon Landau, described the record in a statement as "a high energy rock CD," adding, "It's light on its feet, incredibly well played by Bruce and the members of the E Street Band, and, as always, has plenty to say."
The set's first single, "Radio Nowhere," is available free for one week via Apple's iTunes Music Store [ click to download (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=mFUeHlSZha0&offerid=78941&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FW ebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewAlbum%253 Fi%253D262553298%2526id%253D262553292%2526s%253D14 3441%2526partnerId%253D30) ] starting today (8/28).
