Bruce Springsteen set to play Sunderland’s Stadium of Light in 2024

Bruce Springsteen has announced on Tuesday, October 31, that he will be playing at the Stadium of Light, in Sunderland, once again in 2024.

The Boss has revealed a 22-show stadium run across Europe, with the Sunderland date on Wednesday, May 22, being only one of three in the UK.

Tickets for the show will be on sale from Friday, November 3, at 10am via LiveNation.co.uk and AEGPresents.co.uk.

The show will mark a return to the North East for Springsteen, who was last on the stage at the Stadium of Light on June 21, 2012, with his Wrecking Ball tour.

The announcement follows on from a trio of successful gigs at the Stadium last summer, with Beyoncé performing on her Renaissance World Tour on May 23 and Pink putting on a performance over two nights with her Summer Carnival tour on June 10 and 11.
