BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND

+ Sam Fender + Fantastic Negrito - Ferrara

The wait is over.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band finally return to our country after seven long years. The 18 May, Ferrara will have the honour of welcoming them first: Springsteen will perform in the Este city for the first time, at the Giorgio Bassani Urban Park.

In an unprecedented effort, the Este city will amaze the public with the cultural framework into which the first of the artist's three live shows in Italy will be set, including a series of initiatives and activities in his honour, complementing the impeccable logistics prepared since the day the concert was announced. Fans will in fact be able to count not only on excellent organisation but also on the calendar Waiting for Bruce, including the city's cultural offer. An extraordinary opportunity to show the world Ferrara's artistic vocation and its welcoming capacity, made possible by an organisational machine led by a team of top-level professionals.

For those arriving from outside the city, the Ferrara Springsteen Village at Marco Coletta Park, the first reception area; for parking you can book on the platform Park for fun.  A total of 11,000 new parking spaces (in addition to the municipal car parks) are estimated. A continuous shuttle service from the more peripheral parking areas to the vicinity of the Giorgio Bassani Urban Park has also been arranged.

The live of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be preceded by supporting artists: at 4.30 p.m. will perform Fantastic Negrito (winner of three consecutive Grammy Awards in the category Best Contemporary Blues Album) and at 5.45 p.m. Sam Fender (one of the most promising and successful young British singer-songwriters of recent years and winner of a Brit Award in 2022 in the category Best British Alternative/Rock Act).
