I thought that, seems the most logical shout right now.

That said, all his UK/Ireland dates bar London in July are in May, while she's playing three straight nights here in the middle of June.

In the past couple of years Anfield has hosted concerts it's been three per summer, and it looks like it'll be that way next summer. Billy Hogan said recently however they were looking at getting more artists to play there in 2024, because they can hold six non football events per year. Also the new pitch is easier to maintain in the non-playing season ... or something like that.

Ticketmaster leaked two Pink shows last week that were meant to go on sale tomorrow. Was taken down very quickly and no mention since. So not sure if that’s just been delayed or cancelled all together

Reckon it’ll be the same set from this summer, or he’ll change it up? Burning Train and Janey in, Nightshift out (please, god).

Jungleland is my last ‘big’ track I’m yet to hear live.. I live in hope!

I’ve seen him 5 times, never heard that. Did they stop playing it after Clarence left us?

Largely I think so, yeah. The odd show, but nothing more.

I remember seeing Springsteen in Copenhagen shortly after Jake joined and they played "Jungleland" that night. In fact they played the entire "Born to run" album that night. It was very emotional but such a lovely way for the audience to get to say goodbye to Clarence and to say welcome to Jake.

Got a ticket for the 2nd night at Wembley next July, rather too expensive but I've not seen Springsteen since 2016 and this being the 2nd consecutive summer of European gigs who knows when he'll be back.

Got a ticket for Cardiff to pop my Bruce cherry! Going with a die hard fan who's been 4 times already.

Safe to say, I can't wait.

£120 to stand at Belfast. Thinking about it.

£153 for Sunderland!

Anyone go to Cardiff on Sunday? Great show, nice that he’s brought some spontaneity back into the set too.

My sister went, but I haven't spoken to her yet, nice to see you enjoyed it though.

Off to Belfast with the family on Thursday. Fingers crossed for good weather.

The weather was good.

The band were excellent. Bruce had the cold and struggled throughout, but gutted it out. Him, Nils and Steve can still shred. Love how most every member of the extended E-Street Band got their moment in the sun.

The audience skewed older (like me) and a great deal of them seemed more interested in drink and the chat. Bruce knows how to ramp it up though.

I have to say, though, that the organisation of this event was possibly the worst I’ve ever been to. Enormous queues for everything: entry, drinks, food. Card machines that didn’t work. Truly pathetic stewards that did nothing about people cutting in. The exit was truly frightening: almost pitch black: people making for signs that said “Exit” that were not allowed to be used so people were cutting across each other from all directions. I feared a crush. It took ages for even a tannoy announcement of “Please leave at the rear of the venue”. Where the fuck is that?
