Catalonia's obsession with Bruce
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's concert in Barcelona in April 2023 was the starting point of a tour that "unleashed euphoria," according to Spanish newspaper El Correo.
The first gig announced in the Catalan capital sold out within minutes, prompting organizers to announce a second concert, which also sold out in a matter of minutes.
Over 55,000 fans attended each concert, including former U.S. President Barack Obama and former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, actress Kate Capshaw and actor Tom Hanks.
