Only days after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band finished their outdoor concert in Moncton, city officials began looking forward to next year’s summer concert season.

Moncton has welcomed some of the biggest names in the music industry in recent years, attracting U2 in 2011 and Springsteen this year.

Jacques Dubé, the city manager, said Moncton has its eye on the 2013 summer lineup already.

He said it's hard to guess who will be featured next year, since it's a matter of who is touring and who can draw fans to Moncton.

“We're tied in to the biggest and best promoters and they are looking for venues and the opportunities to promote real acts with a real business plan and real focus,” he said

Moncton held two large outdoor concerts this summer. Canadian rockers Nickelback performed earlier in the summer.

So the city and the local police have been working at improving the services offered to concertgoers.

Dubé said the city is hoping to install permanent bathrooms, as well as an electrical system that will make setting up easier for touring bands.

As well, the city will be using the winter months to see if there are more ways for the city to make money off of the concerts.

Dubé said he will be looking at ideas, such as on-site camping and parking for next year.

Moncton city councillors have complained in the past the city does not make enough money off of the concerts.

Coun. Daniel Bourgeois has argued the financial arrangement with the provincial and federal governments should be re-examined because the other levels of government make more money.

Traffic report

The RCMP is also hoping Moncton residents and other concertgoers will share their concerns or suggestions about the concert traffic plan.

The police created a new traffic plan for the Springsteen concert with the hope of avoiding similar complaints from the past about getting out of the concert venue.

The hotline will close at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

“Concertgoers, residents from business people in the area, we don't have eyes everywhere and so we want to see what everybody else felt, we're hoping to get feedback,” said Cpl. Mike Gaudet.
