Bruce Springsteen enters hog heaven

January 23, 2008 10:01 AM
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are set to headline Harley-Davidson's 105th Anniversary Celebration in Milwaukee next summer.

The four-day event will culminate with The Boss' Aug. 30 performance at a venue Harley-Davidson has dubbed Roadhouse at the Lakefront, just north of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Other acts scheduled to perform during two days of entertainment at the Milwaukee Summerfest grounds include Daughtry , Los Lonely Boys , The Black Crowes , ZZ Top , Peter Frampton , Buddy Guy and Dierks Bentley . The full lineup is listed at Harley's anniversary website.

The Springsteen concert, which goes on sale April 5, will require a separate $40 ticket in addition to the $60 anniversary-celebration pass. Only those who purchase a festival pass will be eligible to buy a ticket to the Springsteen show. A total of 60,000 general-admission concert tickets will be sold, according to The Business Journal of Milwaukee.

The Harley-Davidson performance will come one month after Springsteen and the E Street Band wrap the second leg of their world tour with a three-night stand at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The rockers are set to launch the trek Feb. 28 in Hartford, CT, and travel across the US and Canada through late April, followed by a major European outing. North American dates are included below and overseas shows are listed at Springsteen's website.

The Boss and company are supporting their platinum-selling October release, "Magic," which is their first new studio record since 2002's Grammy-winning "The Rising." The new set is vying for "Best Rock Album," "Best Rock Song" and "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance" (for the single "Radio Nowhere") at next month's Grammy ceremony.
