BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
AND THE E STREET
BAND
RETURN TO AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND WITH THE
SUMMER ’17 TOUR
JET REFORM TO APPEAR AS SPECIAL GUESTS FOR CHRISTCHURCH & AUCKLAND SHOWS
MARLON WILLIAMS & THE YARRA BENDERS SPECIAL GUESTS ON CHRISTCHURCH & AUCKLAND SHOWS
Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to Australia and New Zealand.
Last on our shores in 2014 for a sold out run of shows, the summer of 2017 will
see Bruce and his legendary band undertake one of their biggest tours here to
date, visiting Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Hanging Rock, Hunter Valley,
Brisbane, Auckland and – for the very first time – Christchurch.
Sure to be a special and emotive concert for everyone in attendance, Bruce and
the E Street Band will perform at Christchurch’s AMI Stadium on the eve of the
2011 Christchurch earthquake anniversary. In the wake of the devastating
earthquake Bruce’s song My City Of Ruins became a poignant
and inspirational unofficial anthem for the city.
For one month Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be calling Australia
and New Zealand home, with nine shows sure to delight fans who have rabidly
been monitoring the international movements of The River Tour. Indeed, those
overseas dates have had critics and fans alike in raptures.
“★★★★★ Springsteen was the consummate, gimmick-free showman.” Evening Standard UK
“Springsteen’s
stamina, exuberance and ability to connect remain unrivalled.” Guardian
UK
“For all his
squillions of record sales, the live arena is where [Springsteen] and his band
truly excel.” The Telegraph, UK
Named the top global touring act of 2016 by both Billboard and Pollstar, Bruce
Springsteen and the E Street Band have sold close to 2 million tickets in 2016
alone.
In further exciting news - and perhaps evidence that no one can say
no to Bruce - one of Australia's most successful rock bands of all
time, Jet,
will be reforming to hit the road with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,
appearing as very special guests at their outdoor concerts in
Melbourne, Hanging Rock, Hunter Valley, Christchurch and Auckland.
Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling
more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing 10 x
Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK
for their debut album Get
Born. They produced a string of classic singles in Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, Look What You've Done, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Rip It Up, and Seventeen before disbanding
in 2012. The band have turned down numerous requests to reform in
the ensuing years… until now!
Guitar legend Diesel will appear as special guest in Hanging Rock and Hunter
Valley. In July Diesel released his 15th career album Americana, a
celebration of some of America’s most legendary music. Fittingly the album
includes his interpretation of the classic Born To Run.
Appearing in Christchurch and Auckland alongside Bruce Springsteen and the E
Street Band and Jet, will be local Kiwi favourite Marlon Williams & the Yarra
Benders. Since releasing his self-titled album at the
start of last year, Marlon has toured extensively throughout North America and
UK/Europe including spots on some of the world’s leading music festivals.
In Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
will perform the concerts in their entirety, with no special guests.
If the Summer ’17 Tour seems too far away, Springsteen fans can treat
themselves to some quality time with Bruce with the release of his
autobiography Born To
Run (out September 27 through Simon & Schuster) and its audio
companion Chapter And
Verse (out September 23 through Sony Australia). Bruce first
began working on the autobiography in 2009, after performing at the Super
Bowl’s halftime show. The 500-page autobiography promises a glimpse
behind the scenes at the extraordinary life of Bruce Springsteen. Chapter And Verse features
18 tracks from across Bruce’s career, including 5 previously unreleased songs.
