Rumours rock legend Bruce Springsteen may be making a return to Australian shores in the near future first surfaced last month and now further fuel has been added to the fire.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald‘s sources, the tour “is on”. The Boss will reportedly tour Australia in January/February next year, with dates possibly announced later this month.
The tour will be a mix of outdoor and arena shows, including a performance at Victoria’s Hanging Rock. According to Fairfax, there will not be any Perth or Adelaide shows.
And apparently a reformed Jet are set to be supporting the tour. The band were previously rumoured as supports for AC/DC, though this didn’t eventuate.
Frontier Touring chief Michael Gudinski first stoked the rumour mill after an appearance on Triple M, when he told the hosts and listeners to expect a “massive February and March of rock” and hinted at a 2017 Springsteen tour.
“That was an interesting visit from Michael Gudinski,” the official Triple M Hot Breakfast account tweeted. “We’ve been warmed up to expect a MASSIVE February/March of rock!” The tweet was post-scripted with the hashtag #TheBoss.
They followed up the tweet by addressing rumours that Springsteen, whose memoir is set to drop this month, could play Victoria’s Hanging Rock, where The Rolling Stones were set to play before the show was cancelled due to Mick Jagger’s illness.
