In what seems to be the European Tour’s Grand Finale, a second show has been added in Barcelona, for Sunday July 20th, at Camp Nou’s soccer stadium. The 72,000 tickets for the first concert on July 19th soldout in a few hours in the midst of a crazy Brucemania all over Spain, with people sleeping overnight queing for tickets and Bruce all over the media (radio, press, TV…).

Tickets for the final European show (at least for the Spring/Summer tour, a return is expected in the Fall) will be on sale thru TickTackTicket on Tuesday Dec.4th, though the TTT website is usually down and the only real system to secure tickets is queing at ticket outlets.

There’s also a second show confirmed for Oslo on July 8th and a second show in Goteborg is expected for July 5th. The show at the RDS in Dublin sold out in minutes and two more shows (also soldout now) were added for May 23rd and May 25th.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET CONCERT POSTPONED TILL TOMORROW

Tonight’s concert of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street band in the Gelredome in Arnhem will be postponed till tomorrow, Saturday, December 1st. Bruce Springsteen won’t be able to perform tonight, due to a severe cold. He states he is very sorry to have to postpone tonight, but does want to give the fans the show they deserve. And at this point, he feels he won’t be able to do so.

However, he is convinced his health will be recovered sufficiently tomorrow night, to perform 100% up to standards.
