Bruce Springsteen to play benefit rehearsals

Bruce Springsteen has announced that he will play two benefit rehearsals with the E Street Band next week.

The Boss will give fans a taste of his forthcoming album, 'Magic', which is due out in the US on October 2.

The shows will take place at the Asbury Park Convention Hall on Monday (September 24) and Tuesday (September 25).

Tickets will go for $100, but the beneficiaries of the benefit have not yet been announced, reports the Associated Press.

It has become a tradition for Springsteen to rehearse new material at the Convention Hall before heading out on the road.

His tour is set to kick off on October 2 in Hartford, Connecticut, as previously reported.
