EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (May 9, 2016) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band bring The River Tour (#The River Tour) back to MetLife Stadium, the Number One Stadium in the World, for two shows this summer. The Band returns to the Meadowlands for the first time in four years, having played three shows in September 2012, including the memorable "birthday show" where fans were able to celebrate Bruce Springsteen's birthday with a cake and happy birthday sing-a-long when the show went past midnight.

Bruce Springsteen has performed a total of 81 times at the MetLife Sports Complex (MetLife Stadium, Giants Stadium, and Meadowlands Arena) including 66 times with the E Street Band.
Since launching The River Tour in January, Springsteen and the E Street Band have gone "legions above and beyond the normal concert experience," according to The Boston Globe, with Herculean sets lasting well past three hours. Even on the final night of the first North American run, "every musician on that stage was finding something more to offer," said NPR, "and almost every performance of every song felt renewed."
Springsteen returns to the U.S. following an 11-week European trek, which begins May 14 in Barcelona, Spain, and include appearances at Italy's Rock in Rome and Portugal's Rock in Rio Lisboa. The concerts will feature classics as well as selections from 'The River'.
The E Street Band's members are: Roy Bittan – piano, synthesizer; Nils Lofgren – guitar, vocals; Patti Scialfa – guitar, vocals; Garry Tallent – bass guitar; Stevie Van Zandt – guitar, vocals; and Max Weinberg – drums; with Soozie Tyrell – violin, guitar, vocals; Charlie Giordano – keyboards; and Jake Clemons – saxophone.
