The dates of Bruce Springsteen’s rumoured 2017 Australian tour look to be set to drop tomorrow after Australian tour promoter Frontier Touring teased an announcement via their official Twitter account.

Last week the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the tour “is on”, with The Boss reportedly set to tour Australia in January/February next year and dates possibly announced later this month.

The tour will be a mix of outdoor and arena shows, the SMH claimed, including a performance at Victoria’s Hanging Rock. A reformed Jet are said to be supporting, which the band have seemingly teased.

Frontier Touring have tweeted an image that reads, “Now sometimes TOMORROW comes soaked in treasure.” This is a line from the Springsteen favourite ‘Jack of All Trades’, which appeared on his 2012 album Wrecking Ball.

Frontier Touring chief Michael Gudinski first stoked the rumour mill after an appearance on Triple M, when he told the hosts and listeners to expect a “massive February and March of rock” and hinted at a 2017 Springsteen tour.

“That was an interesting visit from Michael Gudinski,” the official Triple M Hot Breakfast account tweeted. “We’ve been warmed up to expect a MASSIVE February/March of rock!” The tweet was post-scripted with the hashtag #TheBoss.

They followed up the tweet by addressing rumours that Springsteen, whose memoir is set to drop this month, could play Victoria’s Hanging Rock, where The Rolling Stones were set to play before the show was cancelled due to Mick Jagger’s illness.
