Bruce Springsteen has announced a UK 2016 tour this summer.

The Boss will bring his E Street Band to London, Manchester, Glasgow and Coventry in May and June, with tickets going on sale at 9am on Thursday 25 February.

The new dates have been confirmed following huge demand for Springsteen’s The River Tour in Europe and the release of The Ties That Bind: The River, which celebrates the 35th anniversary of his 1980 double album The River and includes 22 outtakes from those sessions.

Springsteen told Rolling Stone recently that the current line-up of the band stands “toe-to-toe” with any previous version. “It’s a richer experience now because there is so much material to draw from,” he said. “That shared history you have with people makes the night very full, very beautiful.”
