Bruce Springsteen returns to Australia in 2014
After delivering in March 2013 what many critics and fans declared the ‘greatest rock and roll show on earth,’ Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced they are headed back to Australia and New Zealand in 2014 for their most extensive tour of these shores to date.
The 2014 tour includes Springsteen and the E Street Band’s first New Zealand show in more than a decade and their first-ever visit to Perth and Adelaide, with the Australasian dates kicking off at Perth Arena on Saturday 7th February.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band brought the Wrecking Ball tour to Australia earlier this year on their first tour Down Under in more than a decade, performing three hour plus shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and at Victoria’s iconic Hanging Rock.
Springsteen and the E Street Band’s marathon performances, infectious energy and ability to captivate audiences did not go unnoticed with the Wrecking Ball tour being awarded the 2013 Helpmann Award for ‘Best International Contemporary Concert’ and both fans and critics heralding it as the tour of the year.
It has also been announced that Australian music legends, Hunters & Collectors will be reforming to be special guests at Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Melbourne AAMI Stadium concert.
It has been a fifteen long years since the legendary group disbanded after firmly making their mark on the Australian music industry. Hunters & Collectors brought their unique brand of pub rock onto the global radar with modern classics like Throw Your Arms Around Me, Talking to a Stranger and Holy Grail, collecting an induction into ARIA Hall of Fame along the way. In 2009 the band reformed for a one off special performance at the fundraising concert event ‘Sound Relief’.
Additional special guest at Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Melbourne and Hunter Valley shows will be Australia’s favourite rock & roll soul man Dan Sultan. With ARIA Awards for Best Male Artist and Best Blues and Roots album, three AIR Awards, four Deadly Awards, an #1 AIR chart debuting album already to his name, there is no doubt that this highly anticipated third release is going to be something special.
The Rubens will be sharing the stage with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band once more at their Hunter Valley show, after opening the show at their Hanging Rock performance earlier this year. The band have had a whirlwind year including a gold-certified debut album that landed at #3 on the ARIA album chart and an impressive touring schedule across Australia, Europe and the United States.
