Bruce Springstee­n and the E Street Band will play Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix on Thursday, Nov. 30.

The last time Springstee­n and the E Street Band played Phoenix was 2016 when the River Tour played that same venue, which was then called Talking Stick Resort Arena.

Phoenix is one of 18 additional cities announced for the band’s North American tour this year, with the newly added shows beginning at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on Aug. 9 and running through Dec. 8 at San Francisco’s Chase Center.

Multiple nights have been scheduled for Philadelph­ia’s Citizens Bank Park (Aug. 16 and 18), New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium (Aug. 30 and Sept.), Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (Nov. 14 and 16) and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (Dec. 4 and 6).

Bruce Springstee­n’s first U.S. tour in seven years opened in Tampa

The E Street Band’s 2023 internatio­nal tour began Feb. 1 in Tampa, Florida, with Springstee­n and his bandmates playing their first North American show in seven years.

The opening night concert featured a high-energy 28-song set with such fan favorites as “Born to Run” and “Prove it All Night” and “Wrecking Ball,” with The E Street Band effortless­ly shifting to soul and R&B while complement­ed by a horn section and backing vocalists.

Rolling Stone called the band’s return “ecstatic and emotional” and Spin called it a “must-see.”
