Bruce Springsteen Reschedules French Concert for May 2025
Bruce Springsteen fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the 74-year-old American singer has officially rescheduled his canceled concert. Initially set to take place in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) on May 25, 2023, the event was canceled at the last minute due to a loss of voice. However, a new date of May 31, 2025, has now been announced by his producer, Gérard Drouot Productions. This news is sure to delight 'The Boss' enthusiasts who were left disappointed last spring.
Tickets purchased for the original May 25 concert will remain valid for the new date. For those unable to attend, refund options are available until July 31, 2024, at the point of purchase. Additionally, new tickets for the rescheduled date are slated to go on sale from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time. These can be acquired via gdp.fr and standard ticket outlets, including Fnac, Orange Vélodrome, See Tickets, and Ticketmaster.
Health Concerns and European Tour Schedule
Bruce Springsteen’s team had announced the initial concert cancellation due to voice problems. Following further medical examination, doctors advised that Springsteen should not perform for at least ten days. This led to the postponement of his European tour dates in Prague and Milan, originally scheduled for May 28, June 1, and June 3, respectively. A video message from Springsteen published on his social media on May 27 reassured fans about his health and promised, 'Unfortunately, I was not able to sing for you, but we will come back to Marseille, Prague, and Milan to offer you the show of your life.'
The European tour is set to resume on June 12 in Madrid. The reschedule efforts come after Springsteen had also postponed his U.S. concerts to 2024, citing recovery from a gastric ulcer. Therefore, the upcoming concert in Marseille is positioned as a critical return for the rock legend.
