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]
The tour follows their successful 2023–2025 tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of their career and one of the highest-grossing tours ever.
Background
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!"
White House response
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, he’ll 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.”[2]
