CHAPEL HILL, NC - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will appear in a final area concert of their current World Tour at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium on Sunday, September 14, 2003, at 7:30 p.m.
This event marks the first major concert at Carolina's football stadium since the Carolina Concert for the Children in 1983 which featured Todd Rundgren, U2, The Producers and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The upcoming September concert is the third visit by Springsteen to Chapel Hill, and the only date in the Southeast on the current leg of the summer stadium tour. Springsteen's last appearance in Chapel Hill with the E Street Band was 1988's Tunnel of Love tour at the Smith Center, where two sold-out shows entertained more than 40,000 fans.
The concert is being promoted by C & C Concerts of Bishopville, S.C., through SMG, an event program manager working with the UNC Department of Athletics.
"We are excited about the opportunity to bring these great entertainers to our campus," says Director of Athletics Dick Baddour. "It is their only stop in the south on this tour, so we are pleased to be able to host this event for our students, the Chapel Hill/Carrboro community and the state. Kenan Stadium is a fantastic venue for this event."
