Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will launch an extensive tour in
August to coincide with the release of The Rising, their first studio
album together in 18 years.
The Boss will again be backed by "Sopranos" co-star Steven Van
Zandt
(guitar), "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" bandleader Max Weinberg (drums), Roy Bittan (keyboards), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Garry Tallent (bass), Patti Scialfa (vocals, guitar), Danny Federici (keyboards) and legendary sax man Clarence Clemons, for what has been appropriately dubbed The Rising Tour.
Despite enjoying success as a solo performer since the E Street Band dissolved in 1989, Springsteen re-teamed with his New Jersey pals in 1999. They embarked on a widely acclaimed reunion tour before settling
into the studio with producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine). Due July 30, The Rising is Springsteen and the E Street Band's first album together since 1984's Born in the U.S.A. (see "Springsteen, E Street Band On The Rise
After 18 Years").
The Rising Tour will land in 46 cities around the world, including 39
in the United States.
