Roll Callers

Ahead of Bruce Springsteen’s Helsinki concert on Friday July 12th, 2024 I spent most of the week hanging out and photographing The Boss’ hardcore fans who started queuing for the show on Monday. The so-called ’’Roll Callers’’ pick their individual number in the line which determines the order who gets into the concert pit first and get to pick the best spot. Each day ahead of the concert they have to attend to a roll call (this time three times a day) in order to save their spot in the line. The whole system is organised completely by the global fan community and it is approved and supported by the Springsteen organisation.
