Bruce Springsteen announces Manchester and Liverpool shows for 2025
The Boss is returning to the UK.
By Nick Reilly
Bruce Springsteen has added UK shows to his European tour in 2025, including new gigs in Manchester and Liverpool.
Confirmation of the new tour dates comes after The Boss played dates at Sunderland’s Stadium Of Light and London’s Wembley Stadium last summer.
He’ll now return next summer to play cities that were missed off the tour in 2024, including two dates at Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena on May 17, before a second date on May 20.
European dates in France then fellow, before he returns to the UK for one new show at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 4.
The UK dates are on sale from October 11 and you can buy them here.
Springsteen’s wider European dates also have a gap around next year’s Glastonbury dates of June 27-29, which means that – feasibly at least – a Glastonbury return could be on the cards.
Reviewing his Wembley Stadium show, we wrote: “When you watch Springsteen across three hours, you’ll be damn near convinced that he can go on for as long as he likes. A thunderous rendition of ‘Dancing In the Dark’ makes us convinced that it’ll go down a storm on Worthy Farm yet once more, while the nostalgia of ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’ – which chronicles the start of Springsteen’s career and pays homage to late band members Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici – is a brilliant reminder of how it all began.
As he ends with an acoustic rendition of ‘I’ll See You In My Dreams’, we’re left in no doubt that the title will ring true. But ideally, we’ll see this master showman – and one of America’s greatest ever storytellers – down on Worthy Farm too. Over to you, Emily Eavis.
