At the time the tour was announced, Springsteen spoke enthusiastically to SiriusXM’s E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo about his excitement to perform again.
“It’s a bit mind-boggling, to be honest with you,” he said. “It doesn’t seem like that long, but… at the moment I have Jones playing live really bad. So I’m really looking forward to getting out in front of our fans.” The “Born to Run” singer shared that the rest of his fellow band members were also “very excited” and expressed that their goal is to make fans “feel at home.”

“It’s going to feature a significant amount of new material, and then of course we’re going to be playing a lot of music that fans are familiar with and love to hear,” he said. “It should be a balance of good things. The show should feel contemporary and at the same time should make you feel at home. So that’s our goal.”
