Bruce Springsteen has announced a 2026 U.S. continuation of his ongoing Land of Hope & Dreams tour with E Street Band.
“Brothers and sisters, fans, friends, and good folk from coast to coast, we are living through dark, disturbing, and dangerous times, but do not despair. The cavalry is coming,” Springsteen said via social media.
The spring leg kicks off March 31 in Minneapolis and stretches through May 27, wrapping in Washington, D.C. Along the way, Springsteen and company will hit major cities including Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Boston, basically a coast-to-coast sweep with plenty of arena-sized sermons in between.
Tickets go on sale February 20 and 21 (depending on the date) at 12pm local time via Ticketmaster, with no pre-sales.
If the messaging feels heavier than your average tour announcement, that’s by design. In a video posted online, Springsteen framed the run in stark, urgent terms, positioning these shows as both celebration and resistance. He spoke directly to what he sees as a turbulent political moment, inviting fans of all stripes to gather under what he dubbed the “United Free Republic of E Street Nation” for a season of “rock and rebellion.”
This U.S. leg follows a 2025 European run that leaned hard into Springsteen’s most politically charged material. Setlists pulled from the darker corners of his catalog, songs like “Murder Incorporated” and “Youngstown”, alongside a pointed cover of Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom”. Night after night, Springsteen paired the music with impassioned speeches about the state of democracy
