About the Venue — Mortgage Matchup Center

The Mortgage Matchup Center (formerly Footprint Center and previously Talking Stick Resort Arena) is a multipurpose arena located in downtown Phoenix at 201 East Jefferson Street. Home to the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, the venue seats approximately 18,000 for concerts and is known for excellent sightlines, modern amenities, and a central downtown location with access to Valley Metro light rail, nearby parking garages, and the surrounding restaurant and entertainment district.

The arena’s downtown Phoenix location puts it within walking distance of dozens of restaurants, bars, and hotels, making it easy to build an entire evening around the Springsteen show. The venue is fully climate-controlled — welcome news for an April concert in the desert.

What to Expect at the Phoenix Show

Springsteen concerts are legendary for their marathon length — regularly running three hours or more. Setlists typically exceed 25 songs and change every single night. The Boss reads the crowd, pulls songs from audience signs, and builds each performance in real time. Expect the anthems — “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Badlands” — alongside politically charged material and deep cuts that keep devoted fans coming back show after show.

The full E Street Band lineup features Max Weinberg on drums, Roy Bittan on piano, Stevie Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren on guitar, Jake Clemons on saxophone, Garry Tallent on bass, Patti Scialfa on guitar and vocals, and Charlie Giordano on keyboards, plus the E Street Horns (Barry Danielian, Eddie Manion, Ozzie Melendez, Curt Ramm), E Street Choir (Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore, Ada Dyer, Curtis King), and Anthony Almonte on percussion.
