Bruce Springsteen made surprise appearances in New Jersey during late August 2026. He visited the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University and performed at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park during the Shadow of the City festival.

During the festival performance, Springsteen joined Jack Antonoff and his band, Bleachers, to sing ‘Jersey Girl’ and ‘Chinatown’. The latter marked the first time the two artists performed the track together since 2020.
