Rock icon Bruce Springsteen is set to hit the road in 2016 for The River Tour. The trek kicks off on January 16 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA and and will run through the spring. Summer stadium dates have been added and are listed below.
The tour is in support of Springsteen’s latest release The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, a comprehensive look back at the era of Springsteen’s 1980 classic The River. The Ties That Bind: The River Collection includes 52 tracks on four CDs with unreleased material and four hours of never-before-seen video on three DVDs. It contains the original The River double album; the first official release of The River: Single Album; a CD of 1979/80 studio outtakes; a brand-new documentary about The River; and a coffee-table book of 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia, with a new essay by Mikal Gilmore. The set also includes a two-DVD film of never-released, newly edited multi-camera footage from a Nov. 1980 show in Tempe, AZ.
