Bruce Springsteen News

Das Bruce Springsteen Management veröffentlichte neue Tourtermine.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band werden in diesem Jahr als Headliner auf dem „Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival“ in Manchester, Tennessee auftreten.

Die offizielle Pressemeldung:
Springsteen, Phish head lineup for Bonnaroo
Bruce Springsteen, fresh off his Super Bowl halftime performance, has been announced as a headliner at this year’s Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, along with the recently reunited Phish.
It is scheduled to be the only performance by Springsteen and his E Street Band at a festival in North America this year.
Other performers scheduled to perform from June 11-14 include Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, Elvis Costello, TV on the Radio, Al Green, Merle Haggard, David Byrne, Erykah Badu, Animal Collective, the Decemberists and Lucinda Williams.
The annual event, which is held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn., 60 miles south of Nashville, draws about 80,000 fans each year.
Springsteen, who released the CD „Working on a Dream“ last week, is making the Bonnaroo pit stop during a nationwide tour; Phish is also launching a tour later this year, and Bonnaroo is also slated to be its only festival performance in North America.
More acts will be announced later. More than 120 bands and 20 comedians are expected to perform on 13 stages.

Springsteen recently performed at the Presidential Inauguration and is set to perform at Super Bowl XLIII. His new album ‚Working on a Dream‘ is earning exemplary reviews. In Brian Hiatt’s 5-star Rolling Stone review of ‚Working on a Dream,‘ he raves about its „romantic sweep and swaggering musical ambition.“ For the full review, please go to:
http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/25463406/review/25523370/working_o%20n_a_dream

People Magazine wrote, „With many of these songs itching to be taken on the road, ‚Dream‘ continues the classic-Springsteen revival of ‚Magic.'“

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly’s Simon Vozick-Levinson’s gave the album an „A“ grade: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20253916,00.html

Die Bruce Springsteen Wordtour 2009 wird nicht wie ursprünglich geplant in Europa beginnen. Angeblich wird Bruce Springsteen im Februar / März ’09 einige Gigs in den USA spielen und erst im Sommer ’09 zu uns kommen.

Die genauen Konzerttermine sollen im kommenden Jahr veröffentlicht werden. Selbstverständlich wird Bruce Springsteen auch in Deutschland Station machen. Im Gespräch sind Berlin (Max Schmeling Halle oder O₂ World Arena) und Frankfurt (Festhalle).

Ausserdem sind einige Festivalauftritte geplant. Wenn man den englischen Presseberichten Glauben schenken kann, wird Bruce Springsteen Ende Juni ’09 auf dem „Glastonbury Festival“ auftreten. Ausserdem soll der Boss mit seiner E Street Band auch auf dem „Bonnaroo Festival“ performen:

Glastonbury Festival – 24. bis 28. Juni 2009:
GLASTONBURY boss MICHAEL EAVIS has gone back to basics in a bid to banish the bad memories of this year’s event. The choice of rapper JAY-Z as festival headliner back in June angered thousands. And donating the cherished Friday night headline slot to relative youngsters KINGS OF LEON raised a few eyebrows. So, in order to avoid any more ill-feeling, the dairy farmer is taking a step back in time to wheel out some big guns. YOUNG and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN will join ageing Brit-poppers BLUR as bill-toppers at next year’s event.

Bonnaroo Festival – 11. bis 14. Juni 2009:
Bonnaroo, the East Coast’s premiere multi-day, multi-stage gathering of the vibes (held in Manchester, Tennessee from June 11th to 14th) usually doesn’t release its lineup until early February — but RollingStone.com hears from reliable sources close to Phish that the band will top the bill for two nights, restoring the fest to its jam-friendly roots. …Also being buzzed about with some legitimacy: Bruce Springsteen as Sunday night’s closer.
