And The
E Street Band
Before the success and accolades, fiercely loyal New Jerseyan Bruce Springsteen first assembled the E Street Band on the state's beaches and boardwalk clubs — featuring many members who still tour with him till this day.
In 1999, after 10 years apart, Springsteen reconvened the E Street Band for a historic series of shows documented on the "Live in New York City" HBO special, DVD and album. Since the E Street reunion tour, Springsteen has toured consistently — usually with the band. Highlights have included the 2004 Vote for Change benefit tour, The Rising Tour in 2002 — including a record-breaking 10 nights at Giants Stadium — as well as the Wrecking Ball World Tour in 2012 and The River Tour in 2016, both of which were the highest-grossing tours of their respective years.
Long recognized as incomparable live performers, Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2023 international tour marked their first live shows since the conclusion of The River Tour in 2017 — a 14-month run named 2016's top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar — and kicked off in February 2023 with a string of U.S. arena dates. Backed by the E Street Horns and the E Street Choir, Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2023 European dates alone sold more than 1.6 million tickets — and earned widespread acclaim as some of the best shows of the band's career, receiving praise from Billboard as "the greatest show on earth" and "one of the greatest shows ever" from The Daily Telegraph as well as five-star reviews from The Times, The Independent, NME, and many others.
At the tail end of summer, the band's first U.S. stadium show in seven years — at Chicago's Wrigley Field — was lauded as "something without equal" by The Chicago Tribune and one of "Wrigley Field's brightest moments" by The Chicago Sun-Times. A three-night New Jersey homecoming at MetLife Stadium over Labor Day weekend was praised as "blistering and time-eclipsing" by Salon and "a joyous affair where nobody felt like saying goodbye" by Rolling Stone.
