Springsteen adds Philly dates, to spotlight 'Born to Run' in Chicago

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have added another two nights to the "Workin' on a Dream" tour and revealed plans to perform the 1975 album "Born to Run" in its entirety at a Chicago show.

Since last check, Springsteen and crew have tacked another two-night stand Oct. 19-20 in Philadelphia onto the itinerary, bringing the concert count in the City of Brotherly Love to four. (The band also is scheduled to perform in Philly Oct. 13-14.) The full itinerary, which spans four months, is listed below. Tickets go on sale for the newly announced Philadelphia shows go on sale Thursday (7/30) via comcasttix.com.

Meanwhile, Chicago newspapers have reported that the Sept. 20 concert in Chicago will feature a performance of the classic 1975 album "Born to Run" in its entirety, along with songs from Springsteen's extensive career. Besides the hit title track, "Born to Run" includes concert favorites like "Jungleland," "Thunder Road" and "She's the One."

Tickets for the Chicago performance go on sale Saturday (8/1) via Ticketmaster. (LiveDaily is an operating unit of Ticketmaster Entertainment, which also owns Ticketmaster.)

"Working on a Dream," Springsteen's 16th studio set, hit shelves in January and follows his platinum-certified 2007 release, "Magic." The new record debuted at No. 1, becoming the ninth chart-topping album of his 40-year career. Among the 13 tracks is the bonus track "The Wrestler," the theme song for the 2008 film of the same name, for which The Boss won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.

Last week, Springsteen and many other iconic musicians revealed plans to participate in a two-night event Oct. 29-30 at New York City's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Each night will feature a different lineup, with acts like U2, Simon & Garfunkel, Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and Aretha Franklin scheduled to perform.

Tickets for the special event are available now via Ticketmaster.
