Bruce Springsteen has announced a huge European tour for next year including one date in France - in Marseille. Tickets go on sale next week.
The single tour date at the southern city’s Vélodrome stadium is on May 25, 2024, and is the American singer’s only show in France scheduled for next year.
Bruce Springsteen and his band will embark on a 22-show stadium tour across several countries, they announced on Monday (October 31).
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band delivered "the greatest show on earth" (Billboard) across Europe this past summer, and they'll make a triumphant return to the continent in 2024 with a just-announced 22-show stadium run:

Back in France
Springsteen, with a worldwide reputation as a showman and also known as ‘The Boss’, last performed in France at Paris La Défense Arena on May 13 and 15, 2023.
Then in September, the 74-year-old had to announce the postponement of his concerts scheduled for the year in the United States until 2024 because of a stomach ulcer.
A peptic ulcer, caused by bacteria, manifests itself as pain, cramps or burning in the abdomen.
