Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will be making an appearance a little sooner than expected. On March 9 they will be on stage at the Apollo Theater in New York City for an exclusive performance and live broadcast on Sirius XM. The performance - apart from probably being a good rehearsal for Bruce and the boys - is part of the satellite radio's 10-year-anniversary celebration. Thus, for now only Sirius subscribers (by January 24) get a chance to attend the concert and only by entering a contest that will be decided by a random draw that will take place around February 23.

Bruce's association with Sirius XM started back in 2005 when E Street Radio appeared on the dial for the first time. It became a permanent fixture on Sirius XM in 2007 and has since worked as a semi-official outlet for Bruce broadcasts. Bruce himself has appeared as a DJ on one occasion and also participated in a fan question session around the time of the Darkness box set.

The show on March 9 will be Bruce's first real performance at the famous Apollo Theater. In 2009 he did a TV shoot there as part of Elvis Costello's Spectacle show.
