Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Philadelphia Concert Postponed
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Philadelphia concert has been postponed
“Due to Bruce Springsteen having been taken ill, his concerts with The E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 16 and 18 have been postponed. We are working on rescheduling the dates so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows.”

Back in early March of 2023, Bruce fell ill and had to cancel three shows from that round of dates.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band were scheduled to play at Philadelphia’s Citizen’s Bank Park on Wednesday, August 16th, and Friday, August 18th. The band and the venue are working on rescheduling the dates and they have said for ticket holders to hold on to their tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows.
The next scheduled shows for the tour are on August 24 and 26 in Foxborough, MA.
16 Bruce Springsteen Songs with Inspiring Lyrics
Bruce Springsteen has built a reputation over the course of a half century of performances as the hero of the common man.
His lyrics make him relatable to his fans. The semi-autobiographical narratives of many Springsteen songs have the power to inspire listeners.
“The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.”
–Bruce Springsteen
The reputation started to materialize during the 1970s when “Born to Run” made Springsteen an iconic star.
Songs like “Thunder Road’ and “Out in the Street” also had a feeling of authenticity that endeared Springsteen as a hero for his first generation of fans.
“Glory Days” told a genuine story about how life can pass you by, and “The Promised Land” was among his most inspiring songs.
One of his most memorable accomplishments came after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Springsteen released The Rising less than a year later with themes both directly and indirectly associated with the tragedies that took place.
The idea of the working class hero has continued all the way into modern times with the release of Blinded by the Light, a movie about a young Pakistani boy living in England who draws his inspiration to face the world from the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen.
Springsteen’s roots at the Jersey Shore make him even more relatable for people in the Philadelphia area. Romanticizing summer weather, cold drinks on the beach, and a peaceful mindset speaks to anyone who’s ever spent part of their summer vacation at the Jersey Shore.
The relatable image of a musician with local connections means people in the Philadelphia area will have an even easier time getting behind a hero of the common man.
It should come as no surprise that tickets to see Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Wells Fargo Center in March sold out so quickly, but the band recently announced two more shows in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park in August.
