Nils is also looking forward to visiting Norwich itself during his latest British tour. He said:

“I’ve never felt more welcome or at home touring than in the UK. I’m honoured and grateful to celebrate my 50th year on the road there with my wife Amy, Greg and our great UK crew, for an inspired night of music and friends. We love the UK audiences. Please come join us.”

His professional career started at the age of 17 and within a year, he was a member of Neil Young’s band before also joining Seventies group Crazy Horse.

In 1975, he started performing as a solo artist releasing some successful albums and touring worldwide.

Nils then became part of a worldwide musical phenomenon when he joined Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band in 1984 playing on many of their albums and performing on hundreds of dates with them worldwide.

Now he is set to share his music and performing prowess with a Norfolk audience. John Bultitude, of Norwich Theatre Royal, said:

“It is a real coup to be able to welcome Nils here. He is an incredible musician and consummate performer who has graced some of the biggest arenas worldwide. Don’t miss this rare chance to see him in Norfolk.”
