Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are amidst the final leg of their 2024 stadium tour, marking the 52nd year of their legendary career. But during a concert in Philadelphia on Friday night, Springsteen rejected any notion that the band’s time on the road is coming to an end.
“We’ve been around for 50 fuckin’ years, and we ain’t quitting!” Springsteen proclaimed. “We ain’t doing no farewell tour bullshit! Jesus Christ! No farewell tour for the E Street Band! Farewell to what? A thousand people screaming your name? Get the hell out. I ain’t going anywhere!”

To be sure, it’s been a rough couple of years for Springsteen. He was forced to postpone 20 shows in 2023 due to peptic ulcer disease, and a string of 2024 European concerts was postponed due to vocal issues.

However, when he has managed to take the stage, Springsteen’s concerts continue to be a tour de force, featuring unique setlists at each show and regularly exceeding three hours in length.
Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2024 tour runs through late November, including concerts in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Asbury Park, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and more. The band has also already lined up Euorpean dates in 2025 to make up for shows previously postponed in 2024. Tickets can be purchased here.
