Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s world tour arrived in Birmingham on Friday, with the legendary musician and his band performing to tens of thousands of fans packed inside Villa Park.
Playing for nearly three hours, the band played a 29-song set which featured songs from across Springsteen’s career and some of his biggest hits including Thunder Road, Born To Run and Born In The U.S.A.
Birmingham World was at Villa Park to photograph the band and some of the fans inside.
A full review of the show will follow this weekend.
Following Friday night’s gig, Springsteen heads back to mainland Europe to play more gigs before returning to the UK in July to play two shows as part of British Summer Time at Hyde Park in London.
