Bruce Springsteen will take the stage around 5 p.m. today to play a free, open-ended acoustic concert on the Parkway, The Inquirer reported.
Springsteen has not committed to how many songs he will play or what time it will end, Zach Friend, spokesman for Obama, told The Inquirer. “Its up to him,” Friend said.
Yesterday people who volunteered for the Obama campaign received premium tickets, according to The Inquirer.
Two other local musicians, Nora Whitaker and Amos Lee, will also be playing at the concert, The Inquirer reported.
On Friday, the center stretch of the Parkway was shut down so crews could put together the stage for the concert, according to The Inquirer.
Unlike most concerts, which the stage is set up with the Art Museum in the background, Springsteen will play with City Hall as the backdrop, The Inquirer reported.
The concert is expected to start at 3:30 p.m. and gates will open at 2 p.m., CBS 3 reported.
