On Aug. 9, 1988, Wrigley Field turned on the lights as the Cubs played their first official night game. Thirty-five years later to the date, the Friendly Confines hosted another of its brightest moments: the return of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, this time, for a three-hour, 26-song grand slam of music.
Fresh off the European leg of a massive 2023 international tour (where Michelle Obama even guested on “Glory Days” in Spain), the Wrigley Field concert on Wednesday night (there’s a second show on Friday) kicked off a string of new North American dates as the group continues their first proper U.S. tour since 2016.
