(RTTNews) - Bruce Springsteen has revealed the first U.S. dates on the upcoming world tour behind his new release Wrecking Ball.
The album is set for release on March 6 and The Boss and his E Street Band will take to the road starting on March 18 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The U.S. leg of the tour will run through May 2, when he and the band will hit the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Tickets for most U.S. shows go on sale starting on January 27.
They will then head to Europe for a string of dates kicking off in Seville, Spain on May 13.
Springsteen's manager Jon Landau spoke on the album with Rolling Stone, saying:
