Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's New Documentary on Hulu and Disney+

Get ready for an inside look at the magic behind one of the most iconic rock bands of all time. This October, Hulu and Disney+ are set to launch “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band,” a documentary that dives deep into the creative process and live performances of Bruce Springsteen and his legendary band.

Unprecedented Behind-the-Scenes Access

For the first time ever, fans will get an up-close view of the band’s journey during their 2023-2024 world tour. “Road Diary” offers exclusive, fly-on-the-wall footage from their rehearsals in Red Bank, New Jersey, to electrifying performances across continents. This documentary captures intimate backstage moments and rehearsals, providing a window into Springsteen’s meticulous process of crafting his setlist and the overarching narrative of his performances.

Springsteen’s Creative Journey

The documentary is more than just a tour diary. It’s an exploration of Springsteen’s creative evolution, interspersed with rare archival clips of The E Street Band. Through candid conversations and behind-the-scenes footage, we witness Springsteen shaping the story he wants to tell—delving into themes of life, loss, mortality, and community. This film serves as a crucial addition to Springsteen’s autobiographical works, including his memoir “Born to Run,” “Springsteen on Broadway,” and the films “Western Stars” and “Letter to You.”

Directed by Thom Zimny

Directed by Springsteen’s longtime collaborator Thom Zimny, an Emmy and Grammy Award winner, the documentary promises to be a visually and emotionally compelling narrative. Zimny’s previous works include “Western Stars,” “The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash,” and “Willie Nelson & Family.” His collaboration with Springsteen and the production team, including Jon Landau, Adrienne Gerard, and Sean Stuart, ensures a high-quality and authentic portrayal of the band’s experience.

Springsteen and The E Street Band wrapped up the first leg of their 2024 U.S. tour in April, delivering surprise guest appearances and a diverse setlist of 60 songs over 11 performances. Their European tour is equally impressive, with 25 shows scheduled for this spring and summer. After last year’s European tour sold 1.6 million tickets, fans can expect more high-energy performances when the band returns to North America from August through November.
