Bruce Springsteen is the focus of a new documentary that goes behind the scenes of his 2023-2024 world tour. Streaming later this month, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band takes viewers ‘behind the curtain’ with unprecedented access to band rehearsals and life on the road.
In the film, Springsteen and his long-time band offer the most in-depth look ever at the creation of their legendary live performances, sharing fly-on-the-wall footage of rehearsals and special moments backstage, as well as hearing directly from Springsteen on the topic. Fans get the chance to experience professionally shot footage from the tour for the first time, while following the band through their one-of-a-kind preparation process and onto performances for tens-of-thousands across continents.
It comes as ‘The Boss’ has announced he is heading to the UK for a run of shows in 2025. He will perform three nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena in May, followed by two nights at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium in June, with tickets available here.
Road Diary was directed by Springsteen’s longtime collaborator, Emmy and Grammy winner Thom Zimny, and produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Thom Zimny, Adrienne Gerard and Sean Stuart. Springsteen, 75, has been a staple of the American music scene for more than 50 years since the release of his first studio album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., in 1973.
Best known for rock anthems including Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark and Born in the U.S.A., he has released 21 studio albums and sold more than 150 million records worldwide, with Billboard placing him 24th in its list of the greatest artists of all time.
“Since I was 16, playing live has been a deep and lasting part of who I am, and how I justify my existence here on Earth,” Springsteen says in the Road Diary trailer. “But when the world shut down, I made a promise that if we got through this, I’d throw the biggest party I could.”
