Bruce Springsteen, E Street Band hit it out of the park in Wrigley Field concert

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.
