Bruce Springsteen setlist: Here are the hit songs being played on the 2023 tour

With a catalog as extensive as Bruce Springsteen’s, culling a set list is a tricky task.

Since the vigorous rocker and his esteemed E Street Band returned to the road Feb. 1 for their first tour in six years, the shows have offered a mostly consistent song lineup, performed with hardly a breath in between.

The 10th or 11th of the typically 26-song set is a rotating slot that has yielded some surprises. “Darkness on the Edge of Town” debuted in Detroit, and “Brilliant Disguise” enthralled the crowd at the Tampa tour opener. “Darlington County,” “Trapped,” “Working on the Highway” and “Hungry Heart” graced a few cities.

Springsteen’s encore has remained a spectacular run of singalongs. But really, that could also be said of his entire presentation.

Here is what you can expect through April 14, when this first arena run ends. But the band will be back to storm stadiums starting in August.
