Bruce Springsteen will play shows in Limerick, Cork and Belfast next year.

It will be the first time Springsteen, who is a regular visitor to Ireland, has played either Limerick or Cork.

His show at Thomond Park will take place on July 16th next. Two days later he will play Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and the last show will be at the Kings Hall Arena in Belfast on July 20th.

Tickets for the Limerick and Cork shows are priced at €90 for general admission and €100 seated. They will be part of the Wrecking Ball tour, which will continue into 2013.

It has been the best attended tour of 2012 on a global basis, and included two nights at the RDS.

There has been no announcement on whether Springsteen will play any Dublin shows in 2013.
