Live Nation Cleveland just announced that Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band will be coming to Quicken Loans Arena on February 23, 2016 with “The River Tour”.
The River Tour will be a nine-week US trek, which beings on January 16 in Pittsburgh. The announcement of the tour coincides with today’s release of “The Ties That Bind: The River Collection,” a comprehensive look at the era of the 1980 “The River” album that “Rolling Stone” calls “Springsteen’s best archival release yet.”
Springsteen precedes the tour with a December 19 performance on “Saturday Night Live,” his third appearance on the NBC show.
The River Tour (#TheRiverTour) is the first for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band since the 2014 High Hopes Tour.
Each night of the tour will be mixed for release on Live.BruceSpringsteen.net as high-quality downloads and CDs. Recordings will be available within days of each performance.
The original The River Tour began October 3, 1980, two weeks before the release of Springsteen’s fifth album, and continued through September 4, 1981. With sets that regularly approached the four-hour range, the 140-date international tour firmly established a reputation for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as marathon performers.
Tickets to The River Tour at Quicken Loans Arena go on sale Friday, December 11 at 10am. Buy tickets at livenation.com and theqarena.com.
