Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are going back on the road.
On Tuesday, Feb. 17, Springsteen and the E Street Band announced the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour — and it celebrates the American dream.
"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," Springsteen, 76, said in a press release.
The "Dancing in the Dark" singer added, "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."
His statement concluded, "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!"
The 20-date tour will kick off on March 31 at Minneapolis’ Target Center and conclude on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.. Springsteen and the E Street Band released Land of Hope & Dreams, the EP, in May 2025.

The tour announcement comes weeks after Springsteen released "Streets of Minneapolis," which referenced the protests against ICE and served as a testament to the city's resilience amid President Donald Trump's sweeping deportation campaign in Minneapolis. The deportations resulted in weeks of civil unrest and the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The "Hungry Heart" singer announced the song in a reel on Instagram, which also featured the songs' cover art: a black and white photo of protest signs, all reading "ICE OUT."
"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good," he wrote in the caption in January, adding, "Stay free."
