The Boss Bruce Springsteen Set to Return to Australia in Early 2014

BRUCE Springsteen may be returning to Australia as early as next year.

Radio station Triple M last night posted a news item on their website which appears to to suggest The Boss will tour in February and March 2014.

The item was swiftly taken down, however an eager Bruce Springsteen fansite posted screengrabs of the item online, sparking rumours and sending Boss enthusiasts into a frenzy

Though yet to be confirmed by Springsteen's management or Australian promoters Frontier, the item suggested the 2014 visit will be a full national tour.

A possible 2014 tour would come after just an East Coast visit this year which angered fans in Perth and Adelaide.

The leak has The Boss playing dates in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, the Hunter Valley and Brisbane.

The rumoured Melbourne venue is AAMI Park, which has only been used as a concert by the Foo Fighters in the past.

It also claimed iconic band Hunters and Collectors would reform to support The Boss at the Melbourne concert.

Springsteen's Australian tour this March sold over 150,000 tickets and grossed over $25 million.

Bruce Springsteen To Tour Australia in 2012?

Everybody loves a rumour and a leak. It’s human nature to want to know everybody’s secrets first. If you’re are that way inclined then music is a good place to be because leaks and rumours are common day occurrences within the industry.

With that in mind we bring you the latest leak/rumour, that of a Bruce Springsteen tour in 2012. According to Liveguide, a popular Springsteen fansite published a list of upcoming tour dates and hidden amongst the long list was a group of dates set aside for down under.

Springsteen and his E Street Band, who suffered a tragedy earlier in the year when longtime sax player Clarence Clemons suffered a stroke and died, have already confirmed a number of dates throughout Europe between May and July, and have confirmed there are plans for a tour of North American as well as the rest of the world planned for sometime after.

The rumoured Australian dates fit nicely into those plans, so while you should take them with a grain of salt don’t be too surprised if you hear an official announcement in the not too distant future.

That’s if Springsteen doesn’t hang up the boots and decide to run for Governor of New Jersey first. A poll conducted earlier in the year showed that if the famous musician decided to run for politics in his home state he’d romp home in the polls.

You can see the dates below:

27 August Brisbane, Australia – Entertainment Centre
28 August Brisbane, Australia – Entertainment Centre
31 August Melbourne, Australia – Rod Laver Arena
01 September Melbourne, Australia – Rod Laver Arena
05 September Sydney, Australia- Allphones Arena
