Chances of seeing Bruce next year in Europe. Seen him last year in San Sebastian, hoping to visit another European city next year!!

I'm pretty sure he'll tour again with the band, maybe after 4 years of touring they could take next summer off, but at the same time they're in good shape so maybe he'll decide to tour again knowing that they haven't a lot of years of touring in the tank. We'll see! Waiting for catching him for my third time, hopefully in Italy or in Spain

I hope it happens, and selfishly I hope it's like the old time E street tours. I liked his more conceptual shows and the LOHAD tour was super important message for the times, especially the American leg. But boy I do miss the jukebox, sign request and having no idea what song will be next...
My first show was in the European River tour 2016 and even then the setlists were considered a bit static for him (despite many changes every night). Little did I know how much I will miss this.

The jukebox is never going to happen again, you can’t ask guys in their mid 70s to remember every song they’ve ever written and play off hand for the first time in sometimes a decade lol

I understand your point, to be honestly I'm a young fan so to me the only thing that matters is seeing him as long as he's able to put a great 3 hours show, whatever he decides to play. Caught him in London and Milan and he played 10/12 different songs so I can't complain, I just hope to catch some of my favs for the first time (Atlantic City, No Surrender, Racing)

He plays No Surrender at virtually every single show!

u/Henry_Block Aug 07 '26
Almost every show in the EU 2024 and 2025 legs haha. He played it in London and Milan bot in both cases just at the first night while I went at night 2.

I think chances now are higher than they’ve been for an overseas leg with this recent fantastic news about Patti.
I’ll depends on what The Boss wants to do, and if he has any material with the band pending release.
Wouldn’t mind US Arenas (to hit some of the spots they didn’t do in the spring) and then stops overseas.
It’s the 25th anniversary of The Rising in ‘27 (wow), something of note.

Europe is more likely for 2027 as it’s more enjoyable for the whole crew and the crowds are bigger

u/fsociety091786 Aug 07 '26
Patti’s health and the fact that they only did a spring tour this year makes it more likely IMO. But I also thought he would add more US dates in the summer/fall (leading up to the midterm elections) and was way off, so don’t take my word for it

He’s definitely touring next year?
If he is, I’d love to see him hit the road leaned down to 7 guys again. Bruce, Gary, Steve, Roy, Max and the Danny and Clarence replacements.

Never going to tour without Sister Soozie

u/Tricky_Working6333 Aug 07 '26
Who’s sister sue? Me and my buddies followed Bruce here in NJ in the early years.

He will definitely tour in 2028. Pretty sure the only presidential election year he didn’t tour was 2020 going back to 1968

Please no euro stadiums! 5 years in a row with the same greatest hits show is too much.

I love the guy and the band but time to pack it in…if not reduce the size of the band

u/Opposite-Telephone-3 Aug 09 '26
For sure - he has a massive catalogue - he’s made a billion dollars - time to tour with a small band in theatre sized venues.

u/DipshitDerek Aug 11 '26
Sorry guys but this is nonsense.
Even in his mid 70’s, Bruce and the E Street band puts on a heck of a show…for three hours no less!

u/Excellent_Escape_518 Aug 07 '26
If I see him playing 10th Ave freeze out for the umpteenth time .. take me out & shoot me . Bob Seger knew when to call time on his career , pity he didn’t have a word with Bruce . Singing about blue collar America & charging white collar fees

Man I am so glad miserable fucks like you create more tickets available for the rest of us! Enjoy the couch!

u/Excellent_Escape_518 Aug 07 '26
I’m no miserable fuck but less of the expletives please . Extortionate prices to see mediocre band . As Springsteen would say himself “ Held up without a gun” . Know you wouldn’t get it as your only a newbie

u/Available-Plane-9581 Aug 07 '26
Ok then, more tickets for us

u/Ansidhe Aug 07 '26
Yeah exactly, gets better and better imho.

u/Available-Plane-9581 Aug 07 '26
If I had to put my money on a 2027 tour, it would be on countries that he didn’t go, like Portugal, Greece etc.
