Yahoo News Bruce Springsteen announces 2024 UK tour - here’s how to get tickets
Springsteen's UK tour dates includes London's Wembley stadium performance
Bruce Springsteen has delighted fans by announcing new UK 2024 dates and here's how to get tickets to their hotly-anticipated tour.
It comes after Springsteen, 74, was forced to postpone some 2023 dates because of peptic ulcer disease.
The 2024 tour will start in Cardiff, Wales on May 5 before going to Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway.
One of their performances will include a trip to London's Wembley Stadium on 25 July.
The musician announced the news on his Twitter, saying: "Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band delivered 'the greatest show on earth' (Billboard) across Europe this past summer, and they’ll make a triumphant return to the continent in 2024 with a just-announced 22-show stadium run."

2023 touring success
Springsteen and The E Street’s Band 2023 European tour sold more than 1.6 million tickets and included two dates in London’s Hyde Park.
It marked a huge milestone for the band as last year they performed gigs in the UK for the first time in six years.
At the end of the summer, they returned to North America where they performed their first US stadium show in seven years.
Glastonbury 2024
Springsteen and The E Street Band now are the favourites to headline the Pyramid Stage at the 2024 festival, according to the latest odds.
Their odds have been slashed from 4/1 to 1/2 following the announcement of a Belfast date in their world tour schedule.
Madonna, Dua Lipa, and Coldplay had previously been the odds-on favourites at 4/5 to headline at the festival.
Oddschecker’s Leon Blackman said: "All change at the top of the betting market for the Pyramid Stage headliner at Glastonbury 2024 this morning.
"Following the announcement of four tour dates in Ireland in mid-May 2024, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band are now the outright favourites to headline Glastonbury.
"Having been odds of 4/1 this morning, their implied chances of headlining have soared from 20% to 66.7% in the space of three hours. This betting market will be one to watch with tickets being released later this week."
