(NEWARK, NJ) -- 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, including several local shows in New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia.
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.
Local dates include Monday, April 20 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ; Tuesday, May 5 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY; Friday, May 8 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia; Monday, May 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City; Thursday, May 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY; and Saturday, May 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York City once again.
