Bruce Springsteen To Issue Retrospective Featuring ‘Never-Before-Heard Material’ in 2025

It was a busy year for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and it looks like 2025 will be just as jam-packed. According to a press release recapping the Boss’ 2024, next year will find the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend extending his global tour with the band, as well as celebrating some milestones and dusting off unheard gems from the archives.

“Upcoming releases in 2025 will include a look back at Springsteen’s storied recoding career, featuring never-before-heard material,” read the release, which did not specify when the songs are from or what format they will be released in. In 1998, Springsteen dropped the hefty four-disc box set Tracks, which featured 66 songs, mostly never-before-released, as well as b-sides, demos and alternate versions of previously released material.

It also noted that Springsteen will “continue his involvement” in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, in which The Bear star Jeremy Allen White will portray a young Bruce.

Next year will include a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Springsteen’s landmark 1975 album Born To Run, which helped turn Bruce into a rock legend thanks to such beloved classics as the title track, “Thunder Road,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “Backstreets” and “Jungleland,” among others.

Other anniversaries that will be marked in 2025 include the 45th anniversary of 1980’s double-album masterpiece The River, as well as the 30th anniversary of the Grammy-winning acoustic folk rock album The Ghost of Tom Joad and the 20th of 2005’s Devils & Dust.

The E Street Band will keep on keepin’ on next spring when they kick off a spring/summer run of European dates, which will kick-off with the first of three show at the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester, U.K. on May 14 and include stops in France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain before winding down on July 3 in Milan, Italy at San Siro Stadium.
