The former president of the United States, Barack Obama, and the former first lady, Michelle Obama, will travel to Barcelona to attend the concert that Bruce Springsteen will give this coming Friday at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, as El País has advanced and La Vanguardia has been able to confirm .
The Obamas will travel with their own security team so that the family trip can take place with all the guarantees. In any case, the Mossos d'Esquadra will provide security support and are preparing a specific device to accompany the president on his agenda in Barcelona. At the same time, the United States consulate in Barcelona will also supervise and coordinate the Obamas' trip.
The couple will stay in a luxury hotel in the upper area of Barcelona, sources close to El País have reported.
The Boss and his E Street Band will perform at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on April 28 and 30, and the Catalan capital will be the only Spanish city in which they will do so. In addition to Barack Obama, there is already a legion of fans who are waiting for them in the vicinity of the venue and who take turns to see his idol up close.
The friendship of the singer and the politician goes back a long way. Obama and Springsteen published a podcast in February 2021, through Spotify, in which both characters engage in a conversation that ranges from political issues to parenthood and marriage.
'Renegades: Born in the USA' (Rebels: Born in the USA) consists of eight episodes and is considered one of the most relevant podcasts in the history of this format due to the enormous weight of the two characters that participate in it.
