Bruce “The Boss’’ Springsteen books second show at Fenway Park

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band announced Saturday that they were to play a second concert at Fenway Park on Aug. 15, according to a release from online ticket distributer Live Nation.

The performances at the ballpark will be the first upon the group’s return from the 11-week “Wrecking Ball’’ European tour. The band added a second performance “due to the overwhelming demand, pending city approval,’’ said the release.

Springsteen is also scheduled to play a show at Fenway on April 15 and at Gillette Stadium on Aug. 18.

Tickets will go on sale June 2 at 10 a.m. for Springsteen’s Aug. 15 performance.
