“Brothers and sisters, fans, friends, and good folk from coast to coast, we are living through dark, disturbing, and dangerous times, but do not despair. The cavalry is coming,” Springsteen said in a social media video announcing the tour.

“Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California, to Texas to Washington DC for the ‘Land of Hope and Dreams American tour,” he continued. “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 DC. 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 and rebellion. I’ll see you there.”

The first leg of the “Land of Hope and Dreams Tour” launched in Europe in 2025 and was framed as a musical rebuke of the second Trump administration. Setlists leaned heavily on some of Springsteen’s most politically-charged material, including “Murder Incorporated,” “Youngstown,” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom,” while the frontman also delivered several impassioned onstage speeches about the state of American democracy.
