Springsteen announces England concert dates

[November 21, 2011]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Bruce Springsteen has announced the first dates for his European tour with the E Street Band.

They'll play four shows in England next summer.

The dates are June 21 in Sunderland; June 22 in Manchester; June 24 at the Isle of Wight festival; and July 14 at Hard Rock Calling in London.

The European shows will run from mid-May through the end of July.

They'll also be touring in the United States. That information will be released down the road.

This will be the first tour for the E Street Band since saxophonist Clarence Clemons died in June from complications of a stroke.

Springsteen's last tour was the "Working on a Dream" tour, which ended in 2009.
