PREVIOUSLY, MAY 14: Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, a new documentary chronicling Springsteen and company’s prep for their 2023-2024 World Tour, will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ in October of this year. An exact launch date is forthcoming.

Directed by Springsteen’s longtime collaborator, Thom Zimny (Western Stars), the doc offers unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to the 2023-2024 world tour, presenting the most in-depth look ever at the creation of these live performances. It opens a new door to Springsteen’s creative process for fans around the world, sharing fly-on-the-wall footage of band rehearsals and special moments backstage, as well as testimonials from Springsteen himself. These conversations follow Springsteen closely as he develops the story he wants to tell with this tour’s setlist — interspersed with rare archival clips of The E Street Band, underscoring themes of life, loss, mortality and community. In this way, the film serves as a new chapter in an autobiographical series spanning Springsteen’s memoir Born to Run, Springsteen on Broadway, and the films Western Stars and Letter to You.

Road Diary opens with a look at the band’s earliest rehearsals in Red Bank, New Jersey and follows them through performances for tens of thousands across continents. The doc’s producers are Zimny, Jon Landau, Springsteen, Adrienne Gerard and Sean Stuart.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band capped the first 2024 leg of their world tour in April — a cross-country U.S. run that brought surprise guests, blistering three-hour shows and setlist rarities (totaling 60 different songs through 11 performances). The band is in the midst of playing 25 shows throughout Europe this spring and summer — after last year’s European tour sold 1.6 million tickets — and will return to North America for more dates from August through late November.
