For the first time in six years, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will take the stage again for their fans' delight as they're going on tour early next year.

According to People Magazine, the 72-year-old singer and his band will be having a massive international tour that will begin on February 2023, six years after their last tour.

In an interview with SiriusXM channel E Street, the singer said it's "mind-boggling" to hit the road again, but he's looking forward to meeting fans.

"It doesn't feel that long, but... I've got the jones to play live very badly at this point. So I'm deeply looking forward to getting out there in front of our fans," he said.

The last time the band got together for performance was on "Saturday Night Live" in December 2020.

Their last tour was "The River Tour" in 2017, which traveled the globe for 14 months.

After wrapping up their scheduled dates, Springsteen has released two albums: 2019's "Western Stars" and 2020's "Letter To You."

He also had a solo residency called "Springsteen on Broadway" in New York City.

In addition to his music projects, the singer launched his "Renegades" podcast with former U.S. President Barack Obama.

Speaking about his upcoming tour with the E Street Band, Springsteen said he's "aching to play" and travel.

"It's been a while and I'm just aching to play, and to actually not just play, but to travel and see our fans in all our different cities and feel that life again and see their faces again," he added.

The singer and his bandmates will start rehearsing in January next year, and the first leg of their tour will be in arenas across the United States the following month.

European stadium shows are also included on their tour, which will start in April before they return to North America in August.

The 20-time Grammy winner added that everyone in the band would be involved in the process, and he's very excited about it.

Fans can expect a lot of classic hits that they have become familiar with and love to hear.

"It should be a balance of good things. The show should feel contemporary and it should also make you feel at home at the same time. So that's our goal," he added.

Concertgoers could also expect a "full-tilt rock and roll show."
