The wait is finally over - Bruce Springsteen will play his first ever Liverpool shows this week in two Anfield Stadium performances as part of his The Land of Hope and Dreams tour. The
American singer has packed out arenas and stadiums across the globe and this week will be no different as he takes to the stage in the home of Liverpool FC. Bruce Springsteen and the E
Street Band are playing two nights at Anfield Stadium this week on Wednesday, June 4 and Saturday, June 7. Hundreds of fans have already been queuing outside the stadium in the days
preceding the inaugural Anfield show, ready to be given a number, which corresponds to how close they will be to the stage. Known for hits including Born in the USA and Dancing In The Dark,
The Boss is renowned for his legendary live shows and huge catalogue of songs, from his incredible six decade career. Everyone will have a favourite from down the years, and, with the likely
length of the set going beyond the two and a half hour mark, nobody will face a long walk home feeling short-changed. These Liverpool shows have been a long time coming for The Boss, who
admitted Liverpool has had a huge impact on his life and career. The New Jersey-born singer-songwriter, 75, credits our city's most famous sons with inspiring him to become a musician.
He was a teenager when The Beatles made their all-conquering arrival in the United States in 1964. As such, Bruce will fulfil a lifelong dream when he performs at Anfield tonight. Speaking
to Greatest Hits Radio host Simon Mayo recently, Bruce admitted it was a long-held dream for any American to visit Liverpool, thanks to The Beatles. He said he was looking forward to laying
his eyes on Merseyside for the first time. We will be bringing you live updates throughout the week, including all the latest news from both live performances. We will also keep you updated
with everything that's going on across the city in relation to the gigs - including any sightings of The Boss out and about in Liverpool - so stay tuned.
