Bruce Springsteen in London BST Hyde Park July 8 performance

American singer Bruce Springsteen is back in London and will be playing at the Hyde Park Festival on July 8, 2023. The singer performed for three hours on July 6 to forget his earlier experience of being ‘cut-off in the city.

Legendary singer Bruce Springsteen is back in London this weekend to play at the BST Hyde Park Festival 2023. He already performed his first act on July 6, 2023, and even made a joking reference to his past at Hyde Park.

When Springsteen performed at Hyde Park earlier, he had missed the curfew on stage and had the power cut as a result. His act with The Beatles’ legend Paul McCartney interrupted.

At the time, Springsteen's guitarist Steve Van Zandt had tweeted that the singer was angry, and asked "when did England become a police state?". Boris Johnson, then Mayor of London, even criticized the authorities behavior as "an excessively efficacious decision".On Thursday, July 6, as Springsteen returned to play at Hyde Park at the BST Festival, he forgave London. The singer got onto stage just after 7 pm BST, and went on to play for three hours!

As a reference to what happened in the past, 15 minutes before the show ended, he tapped his watch and said to his guitarist, "I think it's time to go home. I'm telling you, if we don't go, they're going to pull the plug on us again."

Then he changed his mind, just shrugged and screamed some expletives, and sang Glory Days.A crowd of 65,000 fans cheered Springsteen, including celebrities like tennis star Roger Federer, and singers Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, and Peter Gabriel.
