Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen recently announced a world tour, which set fans in Australia speculating about venues and when or if he would make it down under, but it seems that leaked dates that spread like wildfire today have a small problem.

Broooce dates were leaked by WickedLocal.com that included shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in Australia and Auckland, New Zealand, however, unless The Boss is planning on flexing his muscle, unfortunately the second rumoured Melbourne date coincides with the already announced WWE Raw World Tour.

Rod Laver Arena will be hosting wrestlers on Saturday, September 1, although it would be very cool if a Bruce show teamed up with the wrestlers. There is still some space around the dates, but I’m sorry Broooce fans, you’re probably going to have to take them with a grain of salt.

Rumoured Australian Brooooce dates are:

AUGUST

27 – Entertainment Centre, Brisbane, QLD
28 – Entertainment Centre, Brisbane, QLD
31 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, VIC

SEPTEMBER

1 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, VIC
5 – Allphones Arena, Sydney, NSW
6 – Allphones Arena, Sydney, NSW
8 – Vector Arena, Auckland, NZ

Confirmed WWE Raw dates are:

AUGUST

30 – Entertainment Centre, Brisbane, QLD
31 – Allphones Arena, Sydney, NSW

SEPTEMBER

1 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, VIC
