Bruce Springsteen is taking legal action to stop the sale of unauthorized merchandise outside his upcoming show in Newark.
Springsteen’s official merch partner, Live Nation’s Merch Traffic division, has filed a request seeking permission for law enforcement to seize bootleg items that infringe on the artist’s trademarks. The move aims to protect fans from low-quality knockoffs while preserving the integrity of officially licensed merchandise.
The Boss joins a growing list of artists — including Dua Lipa and Tate McRae — who are pushing back against unauthorized vendors operating near concert venues.
Meanwhile, Springsteen continues his U.S. tour, using his platform to speak out on political issues, which has sparked public responses, including from Donald Trump on social media.
As anticipation builds for the Newark show, the focus now extends beyond the stage — to what fans are buying outside it.
