PITTSBURGH, PA (December 4, 2015) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band launch The River Tour, a nine-week US trek, on Jan. 16 in Pittsburgh. The announcement of the tour coincides with today's release of "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection," a comprehensive look at the era of the 1980 "The River" album that "Rolling Stone" calls "Springsteen's best archival release yet."
Springsteen precedes the tour with a Dec. 19 performance on "Saturday Night Live," his third appearance on the NBC show.
