You may recall that I said this last May, after Bruce Springsteen took it to Trump from the stage in Manchester UK: "Will we see Bruce bring this message to America? If I were a betting man I'd start saving up for tickets now."

Well I hope you took my advice, because a 20-date run with 19 arena shows, and a final night outdoors on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., is kicking off March 31 in (where else?) Minneapolis.

More to come, but here's the official word for now, via Springsteen Inc.:

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will launch their Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour across the country this spring, kicking off at Minneapolis’ Target Center on March 31. The 20-date run will feature 19 arena shows, and a final night outdoors on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

Springsteen offered the following comments about the goals of the tour: "We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour. We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C. Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome — so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock 'n' Rebellion! I’ll see you there!" — Bruce Springsteen

In the spring of 2025, Springsteen and The E Street Band brought their Land Of Hope And Dreams Tour to more than 700,000 fans across Europe and released the “Land Of Hope And Dreams” EP from opening night in Manchester, England. Their return to the United States will mark Springsteen and The E Street Band’s first shows in North America since 2024.
