The band, who are currently on a sold out headline tour of Europe, couldn’t be more excited. Singer Brian Fallon says: “Obviously it's been a dream of mine to play with Bruce and the E Street Band. It's truly an honour, and on top of that for it to be in London, one of my favourite cities anywhere, it's a dream. Plus, it's two Jersey shore locals playing some rock and roll.”

Ticket Price - Ł45 + Booking Fee
Box Office Number – 0844 847 2502 (24 hours)
