In case you missed it, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band canceled both of their shows at Citizens Bank Park this weekend.
The announcement came just hours before the scheduled start of the first show on Wednesday, August 16. The anticipation and buildup for one of the best live performers of his generation was creating an incredible buzz around the city of Philadelphia.
The sudden news unfortunately crushed the hopes of tens of thousands of people in the area when it dropped.
Due to Bruce Springsteen having been taken ill, his concerts with The E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 16 and 18 have been postponed.

We are working on rescheduling the dates so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled…
Replace the Canceled Bruce Springsteen Concert
First and foremost, hope for the Boss to get healthy. Updates about possibilities for rescheduled dates will likely come out in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, a big event is off the board for a summer weekend in the city of Philadelphia. The weather will be great, and there’s a new opportunity to try something new. If you missed out on the canceled Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band shows after the unfortunate change of plans, fill up the extra time with a different activity in the city of Philadelphia.
Whether you want an upbeat party, a casual relaxing activity, a day out with the kids, or even a WMMR local appearance, you’re covered with a number of good options.
Hang with Jacky Bam Bam
There’s never a dull moment with Jacky Bam Bam. He’ll be available to collect some donations, take pictures, or just have a quick chat.
Stop by Rita’s in Croydon on Sunday afternoon between 1pm-3pm for a refreshing wooder ice. A non-perishable food donation to Harvest Ministries Food Pantry gets you a 10% discount off your order.
Visit the WMMR Event page for more information.
Spend Friday Night With The Boss
You’ll still need your fix of Bruce Springsteen. We pulled that entire concert off the shelves of the MMaRchives after word got out that Bruce was unable to perform this week due to illness.
On Friday at 7pm, on what would have been his second night at Citizens Bank Park, we’re going to take you back to the Big Joint instead. WMMR will broadcast the complete show from March 16th, 2023.
Stream it on the MMR app, right here on WMMR.com, or ask your smart speaker to “Open MMR”, and then enjoy the sounds of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for two and a half glorious hours. You-Call-It Friday Night will resume after the encore, with Radio Sara filling in for Jacky Bam Bam to take your requests.
