March 18, the E Street Band wrecking ball starts swinging in the south, as the 2012 E Street Band tour opens in Atlanta, followed by dates in North Carolina and Florida. A 19-date U.S.spring leg has just been announced, to precede Springsteen and the E Street Band’s two-and-a-half month European jaunt in May. From March 18 through May 2 at Newark’s Prudential Center, Bruce and the band will focus on stronghold cities in Northeast; a quick West Coast swing hits San Jose and Los Angeles, and Springsteen will also return to the New Orleans JazzFest, bringing the E Streeters to the scene of his triumphant 2006 performance with the Sessions Band.
