Bruce Springsteen Announces 2026 U.S. Tour 'in Defense of America'

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will launch a 20-date U.S. arena tour less than a year after their European run. The Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour begins March 31 at Target Center in Minneapolis and concludes May 27 with a stadium show at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair - the cavalry is coming," Springsteen said in a statement. "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."

Springsteen has frequently criticized President Donald Trump and his administration, including the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis involving ICE officers, Springsteen released the song "Streets of Minneapolis," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart dated Feb. 7.

This tour marks the band's first North American shows since 2024. The European leg of the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour drew more than 700,000 fans last spring and summer before ending in Milan.
