The Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour is an upcoming North American concert tour by American singer Bruce Springsteen and his backing band the E Street Band. The 20-date tour will begin on March 31, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and conclude on May 27, 2026, in Washington, D.C. The final show will be the only one performed in an outdoor stadium; the other dates will be performed at indoor arenas.[1]
Confirmation of the tour was made by Springsteen in a video announcement on February 17, 2026. The tour, with the slogan of "No Kings", is in response to President Donald Trump. In the video announcement for the tour, 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. 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!"
Private rehearsals for the tour were held on March 19-24 in Ocean Grove, NJ at the Ocean Grove Youth Temple. Patti Scialfa and Tom Morello were both absent from rehearsals. Rehearsals have included Springsteen's 2026 song "Streets of Minneapolis", which has yet to be performed with the E Street Band, "Across the Border", a song from 1995's The Ghost of Tom Joad album and that has only been performed a few times with the band back in 2003 and once in 2008, and a cover "War", which was last performed in 2003. A tour promotional video, with photos and video by Springsteen's sister Pamela Springsteen, was released on March 23.[2]
