The Boss does Dublin

Christmas has come early to HP Towers with those lovely Aiken Promotions people announcing that Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are playing their Dublin home from home, the RDS, on July 17 2012.

Tickets priced €86 and €96 go on sale on Thursday December 1 and won’t be hanging around for long.

There was speculation that Bruce and the boys might call it a day following the death earlier this year of Clarence Clemons, but they’ve decided to forge ahead in honour of the big fella.

The extra good news is that they’ve almost completed a new album, which will be out to coincide. Joy!
