Fans look forward to Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band who play the RDS in Dublin.
Ahead of the concert at the RDS, fans waited outside the Merrion Hotel in Dublin hoping to catch a glimpse of The Boss. While Bruce Springsteen himself was nowhere to be seen, bass player Garry Tallent met the fans outside.
Over at the RDS where Bruce Springsteen will take the stage with The E Street Band, the gates have still not opened yet the queue grows longer by the hour. Fans have travelled from far and wide to watch the performance. One provided some entertainment in the queue with his own rendition of 'Glory Days'.
At the Merrion Hotel, still no sign of Bruce Springsteen but saxophone player Clarence Clemons found time to say hello to "Irish news". At the RDS again, the queue is in full song with a singalong to 'Hungry Heart'.
Bruce Springsteen makes a sneaky getaway at the back of the Merrion Hotel under Garda escort. The Boss made it to the stage half an hour early and played a three hour set.
The full lineup on the night included Bruce, Roy Bittan, Clarence Clemons, Danny Federici, Nils Lofgren, Patti Scialfa, Garry Tallent, Steven Van Zandt, Max Weinberg and Soozie Tyrrel.
