Here’s everything you need to know about the biopic, including where you will be able to watch it in Australia.

What is Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere?

This all-new biopic from 20th Century Studios tells the story behind Springsteen’s hauntingly stripped-back 1982 album, Nebraska. Recorded alone in his New Jersey bedroom using a 4-track recorder, the album marked a turning point in his life — one where fame loomed large, but personal demons loomed larger.

The film dives deep into that moment, capturing the vulnerability, emotional turmoil, and stark creative vision that made Nebraska one of his most iconic works.

Directed and written by Crazy Heart filmmaker Scott Cooper and based on the acclaimed book by Warren Zanes, the film promises more than just a music story — it’s a psychological portrait of an artist at a crossroads.

Who plays Bruce Springsteen?

Rising star Jeremy Allen White, best known for his Emmy-winning role in The Bear, steps into the worn leather boots of The Boss.

Known for his ability to portray intensity, grit, and heart, Jeremy Allen seems a fitting choice to bring this version of Bruce to life.

The cast also includes Succession’s Jeremy Strong as longtime manager Jon Landau, alongside Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gaby Hoffman, Marc Maron and David Krumholtz.

When is Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere released in Australia?

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere will be released exclusively in cinemas on October 23, 2025.

While local Australian session times and cinema listings will be confirmed closer to release, it’s expected to screen at major cinema chains across the country.

Will Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere be available on streaming services?

Again, nothing has been confirmed. However, as the picture is from 20th Century Studios, it will likely end up on Disney+ in future! Alongside Jeremy Allen White’s hit series, The Bear.

Who is Bruce Springsteen?

Otherwise known as “The Boss,” Bruce Springsteen is an American singer-songwriter and rock icon.

He rose to fame in the 1970s and ’80s with working-class anthems like Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark and Born in the U.S.A. Bruce is famous for his poetic lyrics and electrifying performances. His music blends rock, folk and heartland storytelling. Plus, he’s won 20 Grammy Awards, an Oscar, and a Tony.

Is Bruce Springsteen married?

Yes, Bruce Springsteen is married. He’s been with fellow musician Patti Scialfa since the late 1980s. They married in 1991 and have three children together: Evan, Jessica, and Sam.

Patti Scialfa is also a member of the E Street Band, often performing with Bruce on stage.

Who is Faye in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere?

In the upcoming biopic, Australian actress Odessa Young plays a character named Faye, described as a “love interest.” However, Faye is a fictional character, not based on any of Bruce’s real-life partners. The film focuses on the early 1980s — around the time Bruce was creating the Nebraska album — and well before he married Patti.

In real life, during the early 80s, Bruce was in a relationship with actress Joyce Hyser and later married model Julianne Phillips in 1985 (they divorced in 1989). His relationship with Patti Scialfa began not long after.

So while Faye might reflect the emotional themes or composite relationships from that period, she’s not a real person from Bruce’s life.

Will Bruce Springsteen tour Australia in 2025?

There has been no word on whether Bruce will tour Australia in 2025.

Even though The Boss is now in his 70s, he still tours around the world. As of writing, he is currently touring Europe with the E Street Band.

His most recent tour in Australia took place in February 2017, as part of the “Summer ’17 Tour” with the E Street Band. He played multiple dates including Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and even regional venues like Hanging Rock near Macedon and Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley. That 2017 tour was his first Australian/New Zealand run since 2014.

Fans have since been eagerly anticipating another visit. There were rumours that he would return Down Under as part of his 2023–2024 world tour… but that never materialised. More recently, rumours have circulated about a potential 2025–2026 tour that would include Australian stops, but as of now, no official announcements have been made.
