The Boss is coming back. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band is headed out on the road this spring on its first U.S. tour dates in two years. These will be the band’s first performances since Springsteen made news last month with his anti-ICE protest song,

Bruce Springsteen used to tell a story about a particular post-9/11 encounter when he was in alone in a parking lot and someone yelled, “We need you now!” That, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer said, was the impetus for his 2002 album The Rising.

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair – the cavalry is coming!"

In 2023, Springsteen launched a massive tour with the E Street Band that some speculated would be his final full-band outing. For the first time, Springsteen used dynamic pricing for his tickets, which caused a backlash from fans who complained about seats going for thousands of dollars.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band are hitting the road this spring. Today (February 17), the Boss and his band announced a 2026 U.S. tour, which will kick off in Minneapolis on March 31. You can browse a full itinerary for the Land of Hope and Dreams tour below.
