Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced dates for their spring 2014 U.S. tour. The tour kicks off April 8th at the U.S. Bank Arena and wraps up May 18th with a two-night stand at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. The tour focuses largely on markets that Springsteen skipped on his 2012 North American tour in support of Wrecking Ball. “As much as we played, we didn’t get to Texas, where I love to play,” Springsteen told Rolling Stone late last year. “We didn’t get to Florida.
