Bruce Springsteen announces North American stadium tour

Bruce Springsteen has announced a new series of North American dates on his “Wrecking Ball” tour.

The stadium shows start up August 18 in Boston, and are, currently, set to wrap up with three dates in New Jersey in late September.

Tickets for many of the concerts go on sale next week.

Bruce and the E Street Band are in the middle of the first North American leg of the tour; early next month, the group heads to Europe for dates throughout the spring and summer.
