Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Touring in 2012 - also new Album coming

From BruceSpringsteen.net

Well, things are starting to heat up down on E Street.

A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.

In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you--real soon.

I want to take my wife for the first time to see Bruce so this is good news. I swear when I saw E Street a few years ago it was every bit as impressive as when I saw them in '84.

Great, surprisingly news. Hope he stops in Vegas this time. He's the only major artist I can think of who has had several big tours but hasn't come through Vegas this century.

Obvious question : Who plays sax?

Ah. Actually that's August '02. I moved here July '03 and knew he hasn't played here since then despite having several big tours. Thought I might never see the E Street Band again.

Hope his new album has some spunk to it.

I've actually really enjoyed the last few he's put out so if it's anything like The Rising, Magic, or Working on a Dream I'll be satisfied.

I'd be happy with good songs, however he performs them. Working on a Dream is the most wretched piece of crap he's ever put out.

I agree, except that there's something vital lacking compared to his classic stuff. His music has become too staid, and that wasn't helped by the muddled production of Brendan O'Brien on The Rising and Magic. Thankfully, O'Brien wasn't involved in Working on a Dream, and it was a lighter affair because of his absence.
I, too, have liked all of Bruce's postmillenial albums, especially The Rising, which was great, but he just doesn't really rock with passion anymore. His age is evident in his musical output.

Still no word on what the E Street band will do without Clemons, but the tour starts May 13th in Seville, Spain. Have to assume they'll make some announcement on how he will be replaced(or not) pretty soon here.

Word I'm hearing is that there'll be a US arena tour before the Seville start of the European tour. Rumour has an album in early March, tour to start immediately thereafter.

Me too. It's catchy.

New Album called "Wrecking Ball". Apparently, it's his "Angriest yet"

Judging by the lyrics I've read so far I imagine this album is not going to win back the Republican wing of the Springsteen fan club. I'm sure they'll interpret We Take Care of Our Own as a bipartisan political anthem.
