Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will launch an extensive tour in August to coincide with the release of The Rising, their first studio album together in 18 years.
The Boss will again be backed by “Sopranos” co-star Steven Van Zandt (guitar), “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” bandleader Max Weinberg (drums), Roy Bittan (keyboards), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Garry Tallent (bass), Patti Scialfa (vocals, guitar), Danny Federici (keyboards) and legendary sax man Clarence Clemons, for what has been appropriately dubbed The Rising Tour.
Despite enjoying success as a solo performer in the nearly 20 years since the E Street Band dissolved, Springsteen re-teamed with his New Jersey pals in 2000. They embarked on a widely acclaimed reunion tour before settling into the studio with producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine). Due July 30, The Rising is Springsteen and the E Street Band’s first album together since 1984’s Born in the U.S.A..
The Rising Tour will land in 46 cities around the world, including 39 in the United States.
