Bruce Springsteen 1978

Bruce Springsteen has announced 15 US show dates with the E Street Band for April & May. In addition to the previously-announced appearance at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, the tour covers the eastern and southern US at a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, including some rare amphitheatre dates.
