11 Things You Need To Know For The Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Philadelphia Concert

Here are 11 things you need to know for the Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Philadelphia concert.

It's been six years since we have had a show in Philadelphia from Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. They will play one night only at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia on Thursday, March 16 as part of their 2023 Tour.

MGK has you covered with everything you need to know before you head to the venue on Thursday.

With information constantly changing, the official venue website also has a useful concert website page. 

102.9 WMGK will celebrate Bruce Week to prepare you for the Philadelphia concert.

The first three days (Monday, March 13- Wednesday, March 15) will include blocks of Springsteen's best, interviews with members of the band, and multiple chances to win our last free tickets to get into the sold out show!

"Boss Radio" will include nothing but Bruce all day on Thursday, March 16 from 6am-12pm. Andre Gardner broadcast LIVE from the Wells Fargo Center concourse with pre-concert coverage from 2pm-7pm, and MGK will air Springsteen's 2016 show from Citizens Bank Park with no commercial interruptions from 7pm-11pm. 

Tickets to the concert are SOLD OUT. The Wells Fargo Center box office will not have availability. 

The sports complex in South Philadelphia has lots surrounding the venue.

Parking passes are available for early purchase. The venue lots include handicapped accessible parking. Check out the Wells Fargo Center map here. 

All transactions at Wells Fargo Center are now completely cashless, including retail, concessions, and parking. For fans who bring cash to the arena, Reverse ATMs will be available in the Broad Street Atrium to load cash onto a pre-paid debit card.

Tailgating is permitted in the designated Wells Fargo Center lots. Make sure to turn up Boss Radio on MGK while you enjoy the atmosphere!
