Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced a 2026 US arena tour named Land of Hope and Dreams, starting in Minneapolis on March 31. The politically themed run responds to recent events in the city and critiques the current administration. The tour includes 20 shows across major venues, ending in Washington, D.C., on May 27.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band revealed plans for their Land of Hope and Dreams tour on February 17, 2026, marking their return to US stages since 2024. The 20-show itinerary begins at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 31, and concludes at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., on May 27. Venues include the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, on April 3; the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on April 7 and 9; the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, on April 13; and Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, on May 11 and 16, among others.
The announcement follows Springsteen's release of the song “Streets of Minneapolis,” which addresses the deaths of civilians Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE officers in the city in January 2026. In the same month, Springsteen dedicated a performance of “The Promised Land” to Good at a New Jersey festival. He also performed “Streets of Minneapolis” on January 30 at Tom Morello’s A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Earlier that month, at the Light of Days benefit concert, Springsteen spoke about the challenges facing American ideals, stating, “Right now we are living through incredibly critical times,” and called for opposition to federal actions in the city.
In a press statement, Springsteen said, “We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair—the cavalry is coming. 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.” The tour builds on the band's 2025 international dates in Canada, Europe, and the UK, and follows the May 2024 premiere of the documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on Hulu and Disney+. During the prior European leg, Springsteen addressed similar themes, telling crowds, “The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock & roll, in dangerous times.”
Ticket sales for the tour begin on Friday.
