KFIX Rock News: Bruce Springsteen Adds Dates to The River Tour; KC, Denver Included

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2016 The River Tour will keep flowing a bit longer than originally planned.

The North American trek, which initially had been scheduled to wind down with concerts on March 15 and 17 in Los Angeles, has been extended through an April 23 and 25 stand in Brooklyn, New York.

The newly added run of dates kicks off with a third L.A. concert, on March 19, and includes stops in Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Denver; Oklahoma City; Dallas; Kansas City, Missouri; and Baltimore.

In addition, Springsteen and company have announced a March 28 makeup date for the show at New York’s Madison Square Garden this past Sunday, January 24, that they postponed because of the blizzard that struck the city. Tickets for the January 24 event will be honored on the new date.

Bruce and his group also have lined up one international gig as part of The River Tour, a May 19 headlining appearance at Portugal’s Rock in Rio Lisboa festival. Visit BruceSpringsteen.net to find out when tickets will be available for the new concerts.

Each performance on the current trek features Springsteen and the E Street Band playing the Boss’ 1979 albumThe River in its entirety, as well as other select songs from Bruce’s catalog.

The tour was organized in conjunction with last December’s release of The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, a multiple-disc box set containing a remastered edition of The River, an early 10-song single-CD version of the album, a variety of outtakes, a making-of documentary, a vintage concert video and more.
