Bruce Springsteen held the first of two shows in London on Thursday night (July 25) as part of his world tour.
The Born in the USA singer, who was recently named a billionaire by Forbes, played to fans in Wembley Stadium.
The E Street Band joined him for the show, the group's first return to the venue in eight years.
Fans who attended the show took the social media to share their thoughts. One said that the best things about the gig included a “3 hour set” and an “awesome song list”.

It comes shortly after the musician arrived from Norway, where he was performing as part of his music-filled voyage around the globe.
When the news of his return to the UK was announced it was met with joy among fans who had been waiting for the rock star to get back on stage after he was forced to postpone his tour in 2023 because of peptic ulcer disease. Last May he was again forced to cancel some European dates, that time because of “vocal issues”.
Here is everything you need to know about his tour, including his setlist and if there are any last-minute tickets.
What time is Bruce Springsteen on stage at Wembley Stadium?
Bruce will be playing at Wembley Stadium, London for two days, on July 25 and July 27.
Doors for the show will open at 5pm, and Bruce and the band are expected to perform from 7.10pm to 10.25 pm on July 25.
Can I still get tickets?
Tickets went on sale in November 2023, and there has been a lot of demand. However, some limited seated tickets for the final date are available on Ticketmaster through resale. Hurry, though, as they’re selling out quickly.
