Bruce Springsteen Announces 2012 Tour Dates

As previously reported, Bruce Springsteen will drop his forthcoming album, “Wrecking Ball”, in March.  The album will be the first since 2009′s “Working on a Dream”, and the first since the death of legendary E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons. Now Springsteen has announced a extensive list of tour dates in support of the new album.

The North American leg tour will kick off in Atlanta on March 13th, making stops in Philadelphia, New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles, before closing out with Springsteen’s show in his home state of New Jersey on May 2nd. From there the band will head to Europe. See the full tour schedule below.

Wrecking Ball is set for release on March 5 in the UK and March 6 in the U.S. via Columbia. Check out the album’s first single,”We Take Care of Our Own” here.
