There will be stops in New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Arizona, and California when the tour returns to the United States in August. When Springsteen made his stop in Spain last month, he accompanied former First Lady Michelle Obama and actress Kate Capshaw, who is the wife of Steven Spielberg. Along with Springsteen’s wife and E Street member, Patti Scialfa, Obama and Capshaw sang backup vocals and played the tambourine. A longtime friend of Obama’s, Springsteen endorsed him during his 2008 presidential campaign, performed at his inauguration in 2009 and again at his farewell speech in 2017. The massive tour will conclude in December when the band returns to the United States.
It wasn’t that bad – he just laughed it off and delivered a fantastic gig to us all❤️🎸👏 pic.twitter.com/VeLbLWz3Be

American Rock Star Bruce Springsteen Falls On Stage During The Amsterdam Show
Springsteen fell while performing in Amsterdam on Saturday, but he quickly recovered from the fall and poked fun at it: “Goodnight, everybody!” he exclaimed. While performing “Ghosts,” Springsteen, 73, stumbled after descending stairs, which caused members of the E Street Band to rush to his aid. He finished the show in good spirits, according to concertgoers. As part of their European tour, Springsteen and the E Street Band will be stopping in the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and Germany, among other places. During the August tour, the band will visit New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Arizona, and California. Springsteen performed “Glory Days” with former First Lady Michelle Obama and Kate Capshaw, the wife of Steven Spielberg, in Spain last month. In addition to singing backup vocals and playing the tambourine, Obama and Capshaw were joined by E Street member Patti Scialfa, Springsteen’s wife.
During her visit, Michelle Obama was accompanied by her husband, Barack Obama, Capshaw, and Spielberg. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Springsteen rallied for Obama, and he performed at his inauguration address in 2009, as well as at a private farewell address in 2017. Springsteen was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama in 2016. As part of their friendship, music, and enduring love for America, they collaborated on a podcast in 2021 called Renegades: Born in the USA. Last year, Springsteen revealed that he has no plans to retire any time soon on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show. I couldn’t imagine [retiring], you know? He said it at the time. If I become incapacitated or something, that would be interesting, but up until then, I considered myself to be… Oh, look at Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger. Springsteen even recalled sharing the stage with an 89-year-old Seeger at Obama’s inauguration in 2009 when Cash and Seeger performed well into their golden years.
