Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band Confirm

Brian Teepell/USPA 24 News - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have formally announced the details of a new U.S. leg of the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, subsequent to numerous rumors and considerable speculation, thereby prolonging what has already been one of the most highly anticipated live concert tours in recent years.

Springsteen and the E Street Band continue to electrify audiences with high-energy performances that showcase their remarkable endurance, inspiring a sense of community and resilience through their timeless classics, hidden gems, and poignant storytelling. The tour title itself pays tribute to one of Springsteen's most iconic live anthems, embodying the unwavering spirit of hope and unity that defines these unforgettable shows.

Bruce Springsteen says he’s hitting the road “in defense of America,” warning the country is under attack by a “wannabe king and his rogue government.” He went on to say, “Do not despair, the cavalry is coming,”

The Trump Administration has formally expressed its opinion on Bruce Springsteen's recently announced 2026 North American tour, with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung forecasting that the tour will be unsuccessful. This response comes after Springsteen positioned his "Land of Hope & Dreams" tour as a defense of American democracy and a direct rebuke of what he characterized as a "rogue government" in Washington.

Addressing reporters, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung utilized several of the Boss's own song titles to mock the singer in a statement, saying; “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.”

Bruce Springsteen has made it quite clear that he does not care what Donald Trump thinks of him. In a testament to his enduring appeal, Springsteen's previous 2023–2025 tour reached new heights, becoming the most triumphant of his illustrious career.

Bruce Springsteen had this to say during the official tour announcement, "We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair the cavalry is coming! Bruce Sprinasteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California, and Texas to Washington, D.C for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour. 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!"

Jamie Raskin, U.S. Representative for Maryland's 8th district, defended Bruce Springsteen after White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to Springsteen's upcoming tour by labeling him "a loser." "America has no kings, but we've got one Boss and his name is Bruce Springsteen. Unlike our faux-King, the Boss fights for freedom and democracy for everyone. I cannot wait to hear him sing Streets of Minneapolis loud enough to rattle the walls of what's left of the White House. l've been to 13 Springsteen and the E Street Band concerts as well as his Broadway show, and I can feel it in my bones. Bruce and the band are going to bring a Rock-and-Roll Resurrection to America and a Rock-and-Roll Exorcism to Washington, D.C. This may be the hottest ticket on the planet. I will be very much out in the street when they come to town."
