Bruce Springsteen Announces 2026 ‘Land Of Hope And Dreams’ Tour
Bruce Springsteen has announced a 2026 US run with the E Street Band, framing the trek as both a celebration of live rock and a defence of what he called “American democracy” and “our sacred American dream.” The arena-heavy itinerary begins March 31 in Minneapolis and closes May 27 with a stadium date at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
USA TODAY reported that the outing is titled the Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour and includes 19 arena shows, with ticket sales set for Feb. 20-21 at varying times depending on the market.
Springsteen issued a statement describing the period as “dark, disturbing and dangerous times,” while urging fans not to despair and inviting “everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in,” to attend the shows. His comments also took direct aim at the current administration in Washington, D.C., as he positioned the concerts as an “American spring of Rock ’n’ Rebellion.”
The announcement follows recent headlines around his political messaging, including the backlash described when the White House hit back at Springsteen’s ICE-related song amid his criticism of aggressive immigration enforcement.
Springsteen’s 2026 routing stretches from the West Coast through major markets including Chicago, Atlanta, New York and Philadelphia before finishing in the nation’s capital. With presales imminent and a pointed theme attached to the performances, the tour is poised to be one of the year’s most closely watched rock runs both onstage and off.
