Bruce Springsteen has extended his current "The River" tour with the E Street Band and announced 14 additional dates for the same. Springsteen also announced a new date for the Madison Square Garden gig, which was cancelled in the wake of Winter Storm Jonas. The rescheduled show will take place on March 28.
"The River" tour, which started on Jan. 16 with the intention to promote the newly released box-set, "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" and was originally planned as a single event.
"We made the box set and there was no plan to tour," he said in a radio interview last month. "Then we felt, 'Maybe we should do a show just to raise the flag and have some fun and make it a little more exciting.' I said. 'Okay, maybe we'll do a show in New York.' Then that went quick to, 'Maybe we should do a couple of shows.' Then it turns into, 'Maybe we should do a small series of shows, basically one-nighters, with maybe a little bit around the country."
The new leg of the tour kicks off on March 19 at the Los Angeles Memorial Center and ends on April 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. after tour stops in Denver, Dallas and Detroit. Tickets will be available starting Saturday, according to Rolling Stone.
After wrapping up the tour, Springsteen and the E Street Band will head to the rock music festival Rock in Rio Lisboa, Portugal, where they will headline on May. 19, according to Radio.
