After the longest Michigan break of his career, Bruce Springsteen is headed back to Detroit.

Springsteen and the E Street Band will play Little Caesars Arena on March 29, part of a 31-show U.S. tour that will kick off Feb. 1 in Tampa, Florida, and finish with an April 14 New Jersey homecoming. Details were announced Tuesday morning.

Tickets for the Little Caesars Arena stop will go on sale at 10 a.m. July 27. Springsteen is using Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system, which is intended to thwart ticket brokers and requires buyers to sign up in advance. Registration is available now at verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/springsteen.

Any tickets remaining after the Verified Fan sale would become available to the general public at 3 p.m. July 27.

Springsteen revealed his U.S. touring aims in May, when he also announced a run of 2023 European dates. Ticket sales for those overseas shows topped 1 million within a couple of weeks.

A second North American tour leg is expected to kick off in August.

Springsteen’s last metro Detroit visit was in April 2016, when he played the Palace of Auburn Hills on the River Tour. The seven-year gap is the Boss’ longest break between Michigan shows since his touring career began in the early '70s.

The New Jersey rocker was plenty busy during his road hiatus: He launched a Broadway residency, released a pair of albums and even cohosted a podcast with former President Barack Obama.
