The Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour is a North American concert tour by American singer Bruce Springsteen and his backing band the E Street Band. The 20-date tour began 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.
The tour follows their successful 2023âÂÂ2025 tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of their career and one of the highest-grossing tours ever.
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 despairâÂÂthe cavalry is coming! ... We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of AmericaâÂÂAmerican democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dreamâÂÂall 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 welcomeâÂÂso come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock 'n' Rebellion! IâÂÂll see you there!"
Private rehearsals for the tour were held on March 19âÂÂ24 in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, 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 that has only been performed a few times with the band, and a cover of "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. Another video featuring the entire band was released on March 25. "We are bringing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, unity over division, and peace over war!" Springsteen says in the video, which ends with the band performing the first notes of Edwin Starr's "War".
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a response to the tour on February 18, 2026, through Politico by using Springsteen's own song titles as a means to insult him. Cheung said, "When this loser Springsteen comes back home to his own 'City of Ruins' in his head, heâÂÂll realize his 'Glory Days' are behind him and his fans have left him 'Out in the Street', putting him in a 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out' because he has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his brain.âÂÂ
This set list reflects the tour's opening night in Minneapolis on March 31, 2026, and is not intended to represent the majority of the performances throughout the tour.
