So far, dates have officially been announced in Portugal and Ireland in May, and Italy in July for Bruce Springsteen’s tour, which has received superlative reviews from its preliminary US shows.
Springsteen fans in Israel “are waiting with hungry hearts to hear if Weiss will be able to seal the deal this time” and if their idol can perform fir them on their land.

“I can say with full confidence that a [Bruce] Springsteen show will take place in Israel,” Israel’s dean of concert promoters, Shuki Weiss, said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post three years ago. Since then and as of now, Israeli promoters are in the proess of negotiations to figure out a Springsteen date on his upcoming European tour this summer.

So far, dates have officially been announced in Portugal and Ireland in May, and Italy in July for the tour, which has received superlative reviews from its preliminary US shows, reports The Jerusalem Post.

The local rumor mill picked up last week when Yediot Aharonot ran a report that a Tel Aviv show had presumably been set for July 2016. Similar reports pop up every time Springsteen announces a European tour, but until now, Springsteen has not sung “The Promised Land” in Israel, leading to questions as to whether he silently adheres to a boycott policy.

The promoter Shuki Weiss reportedly quoted intensive efforts and contacts spanning many years before shows here by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Depeche Mode came to fruition. “These big tours have so many factors – the manager, the band, the agent, production manager, the routing – it’s so hard to coordinate between all those elements. But it happened with the Chili Peppers and it will happen with Bruce.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, three years later, Springsteen fans in Israel “are waiting with hungry hearts to hear if Weiss will be able to seal the deal this time” and if their idol can perform fir them on their land.
