Rocking duo: Bruce Springsteen with his long time friend and collaborator Steve Van Zandt on stage

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will return to Kilkenny next May with a Nowlan Park gig officially confirmed.

The New Jersey rocker who wowed audiences in Nowlan Park in 2013 will be back in that venue on May 12, 2024. Tickets will go on sale on Monday, November 6.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band delivered 'the greatest show on earth' (Billboard) across Europe this past summer, and they'll make a triumphant return to the continent in 2024 with a just-announced 22-show stadium run.

Kicking off on May 5 in Cardiff, Wales, Springsteen and The E Street Band will bring their "rapturous and cathartic" (USA Today)" 2024 world tour to Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway — before bookending in the UK with a date at London's Wembley Stadium on July 25. Full list of performance dates and on-sale times below.

Springsteen and The E Street Band’s 2023 European tour sold over 1.6 million tickets, and earned widespread praise as some of the best shows of the band’s career. The 2023 European run received praise as "one of the greatest shows ever" (Daily Telegraph) as well as five-star reviews from The Times, The Independent, NME and many others across its 14 countries. .

Returning to North America at the tail end of summer, Springsteen and The E Street Band's first U.S. stadium show in seven years — at Chicago's Wrigley Field — was lauded as "something without equal" (Chicago Tribune) and one of "Wrigley Field's brightest moments'' (Chicago Sun-Times). A three-night New Jersey homecoming at MetLife Stadium over Labor Day weekend was praised as "blistering and time-eclipsing" (Salon) and "a joyous affair where nobody felt like saying goodbye" (Rolling Stone).
