Bruce Springsteen is firing on all cylinders. With his new solo album Western Stars about to drop, The Boss has just confirmed plans for a new album and subsequent tour with the legendary E Street Band in 2020.
Springsteen first teased the new E Street Band album and tour while promoting his Netflix one-off Springsteen on Broadway in a conversation with director Martin Scorsese earlier this month. “About a month or so ago, I wrote almost an album’s worth of material for the band,” said Springsteen. “… It makes you so happy. You go, ‘F*ck, I’m not f*cked, all right? There’ll be another tour!”
Springsteen has now confirmed more details as to when fans may expect the new album and tour in an interview with Italian news site Repubblica. “I’ll record with the E Street Band in the autumn,” said The Boss, “and when we are done, we’ll go on tour [next year].”
The Boss’ newly-announced album with the E Street Band will mark the first LP with the band since 2014’s High Hopes. In the meantime, fans can check out the first two singles from Springsteen’s Southern California pop-inspired Western Stars — “There Goes My Miracle” and “Hello Sunshine” — out on June 14.
