Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band brought "one of the most successful tours of all time" (Pollstar) to a new level this year, delivering blistering three-hour sets and surpassing 4 million tickets sold for their run of 2023-2024 shows. Simultaneously, the film release for "Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band" (available now on Hulu and Disney+) offered fans the most in-depth look ever at the creation of those legendary live performances. "Springsteen is the world's greatest living entertainer, full stop,” declared The New York Times in a Critic's Pick. "'Road Diary'...offers dynamic proof for this." 

Springsteen and The E Street Band returned to live shows “unmatched by any other outfit on the road" (Billboard) this year, touring for eight months across North America and Europe. Major highlights included Springsteen's first Asbury Park homecoming show in decades — headlining Sea.Hear.Now on the beach for “one of the greatest post-reunion shows in Springsteen history” (Rolling Stone). While in Europe, Springsteen became the first non-British songwriter welcomed as a Fellow of the Ivors Academy — an honor presented to him by Sir Paul McCartney — before two performances at Wembley Stadium in front of over 150,000 fans, with his U.K. shows “reminding us … no one does it better” (The Times).

Sony Music released the career-spanning 2LP collection “Best of Bruce Springsteen” in the spring, and celebrated the 40th anniversary of “Born in the U.S.A.” this summer with a special limited-edition vinyl set. In addition, Springsteen appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone’s “Musicians on Musicians” issue alongside Zach Bryan, returned to The Graham Norton Show for an in-depth conversation about “Road Diary” and took ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos behind the scenes of his 2024 world tour for the one hour primetime special “Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets.” Springsteen also appeared on The Howard Stern Show with The E Street Band in October, where they gave a wide-ranging interview alongside an unprecedented stripped-down, full-band performance.

2025 will find Springsteen returning to Europe to perform 16 shows in six countries with The E Street Band. He’ll also continue his involvement in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, which stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and is currently filming on the Jersey Shore. Springsteen’s Born to Run will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, in addition to milestones for The River, The Ghost of Tom Joad, and Devils & Dust. Upcoming releases in 2025 will include a look back at Springsteen’s storied recording career, featuring never-before-heard material.

The 2025 European Tour includes stops in Manchester, Lille, Marseille, Liverpool, Berlin, Prague, Frankfurt, San Sebastian, Gelsenkirchen, and Milan.
