Know Before You Go – Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park Philadelphia 2024

The Boss is coming back, Philly! Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band are about to hit Philly for two shows that have been over a year in the making.

In 2023 Bruce had to cancel his Philadelphia concerts at the last minute due to health issues (which turned out to be connected to an ulcer).

So this week's shows are the rescheduled concert dates:

• Wednesday, August 21, 2024's show at 7:30 p.m. - originally scheduled 8/16/23
• Friday, August 23, 2024's show at 7:30 p.m. - originally scheduled 8/23/23.

The last time The Boss was in town was back in March 2024 for a performance indoors at the Wells Fargo Center.

From set times to parking info and more, we've put together a list of EVERYTHING you need to know ahead of the show:

By the way, if you're hanging out at the ballpark concession stands or pregaming at Xfinity Live! before the show, don't push it too close.

It's probably best to be in your seat not much later than 7:30 pm. You don't wanna miss ANY of this show. Bruce performs for a while, so he'll hit the stage on time.

What Is the Setlist for Bruce Springsteen's Philadelphia Concerts in August 2024?

Normally we are able to dig into some clues on Twitter and the website setlist.fm to gauge what the artist's setlist will be before a concert, but with Bruce Springsteen that's difficult. The band is known for changing this up each and every night.

In fact, every night on this tour has been different so far. So we kind of expect that to continue.

It is, however, safe to say that Bruce and the band will perform both the massive hit songs and their more obscure fan favorites from their expansive discography.

How Long Is Bruce Springsteen's Philadelphia Concert?

Who knows? We can tell you that the Boss and the band have been performing for HOURS every night on the tour.

The shows have been averaging about 27 songs (with as many as 7 songs during an encore).

So it's about a 3-hour concert from start to finish each and every night, and since it's Bruce, you never know what surprises will be in store in terms of the setlist.

"I was clear he has the endurance of a marathoner and an indisputable dedication to the music, band, and audience," one reviewer wrote after a recent show in St. Paul, MN.
