Bruce Springsteen has confirmed he will return to Ireland next year with a series of gigs in May 2024.

The 74-year-old American rock legend, who delighted crowds in Dublin last May with a three-night stint at the RDS, will perform in Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny and Belfast as part of his world tour next year.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will take to the stage at Boucher Road in Belfast on 9 May, Nowlan Park in Kilkenny on 12 May, Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on 16 May and Croke Park in Dublin on 19 May.

Tickets go on sale Monday, 6 November at 8am from Ticketmaster.

The gigs are part of a 22-date stadium run across Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, that kicks off in Cardiff on 5 May and concludes in London on 25 July.

Springsteen and The E Street Band's 2023 European tour sold over 1.6 million tickets and earned widespread praise as some of the best shows of the band's career.

They played three gigs at the RDS in Dublin in May, ending fans' seven-year wait to see 'The Boss' back in town.

The band's 27-song set drew heavily from the albums Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born in the U.S.A., and Letter to You.

Prior to these gigs, the last time Springsteen had performed to Irish audiences was for two Croke Park gigs in May 2016.

Springsteen recently postponed the rest of his 2023 tour dates while he recovered from treatment for peptic ulcer disease.

The 74-year-old singer has "continued to recover steadily" and will continue treatment for the rest of the year on doctor's advice, the statement said.

"Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support, I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year," he said in a statement.

The tour was the first he's gone on with the E Street Band since 2017 and he was on the road for most of 2023.
