Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Gillette Stadium: What You Need to Know
The Boss is back in Foxborough for the final show of the River Tour.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — After a summer full of successful concerts, it's time to end concert season at Gillette Stadium with one of the best acts around.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band roll into Foxborough Wednesday night for the final show of the River Tour. The show is the Boss' first appearance at the stadium since 2012 and expectations are high for another classic performance.
The New Jersey rocker, who is known for his long shows, could go even longer this time around. Earlier on the tour, Springsteen played for four hours straight with no intermission or breaks. Tell the parents (or the kids, more likely) not to wait up.
