A New Run Across the United States
Bruce Springsteen is heading back on tour this spring with The E Street Band for the 2026 Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour. The 20-show stretch will begin March 31 in Minneapolis and close May 27 with an outdoor performance in Washington, D.C. It will be the group’s first North American run since 2024.
The announcement follows a strong European leg in 2025 that drew more than 700,000 fans. That series of concerts also led to the release of the ‘Land Of Hope And Dreams EP,’ recorded during the opening night in Manchester. Now, the focus shifts back to U.S. arenas and stadiums.
A Clear Political Stand
Springsteen made it clear that the upcoming shows are about more than music. Speaking to fans, he said the country is facing “dark, disturbing and dangerous times.” He encouraged people to gather, listen, and stand together.
He described the concerts as a defense of the nation’s core values and said the events are open to everyone, no matter their political views. “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,” Springsteen declared, setting out his very clear anti-Trump beliefs for all to see.
