Bruce Springsteen is Coming to Nationals Park

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have just announced eight new tour dates for "The River Tour," and Washington, D.C. is on the list.

Tickets go on sale May 13 for those hoping to get into the Sept. 1 show at Nationals Park, the band announced on Facebook.

The eight new shows start at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Aug. 23 and continue through Sept. 14 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

"The next slate of U.S. concerts follows 37 initial North American dates, as well as an 11-week European trek," the statement reads. "The European dates begin May 14 in Barcelona, Spain, and include appearances at Italy’s Rock in Rome and Portugal’s Rock in Rio Lisboa."

Springsteen is touring to support the 2015 "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" box set. It's the first tour in two years for Springsteen and the E Street Band, and with Springsteen expected to release a solo album next, it may be your last chance to see them together for a while.

Springsteen will perform his 1980 album "The River" to celebrate its 35th anniversary. It's a long show, with reports indicating it lasts well over three hours.

You can buy tickets on Tickets.com starting at 10 a.m. on May 13.
