American rock musician Bruce Springsteen, known as "The Boss," returns to the domestic scene with a new, politically engaged concert project. The Land of Hope and Dreams tour, announced on February 17, 2026, is intended to be the artist's direct response to the current social and political climate in the United States. The first concert is scheduled for March 31 at the Target Center arena in Minneapolis, coinciding with the release of the singer's new song addressed to the public. The artist will be traditionally accompanied by the E Street Band, and the entire undertaking aims to celebrate democratic values. Bruce Springsteen has been involved in social issues for decades, and his 1984 song "Born in the U.S.A.," though often misinterpreted as a nationalist anthem, was in fact a bitter critique of the treatment of Vietnam War veterans.The performances will cover a total of 20 cities, taking the musicians through the country's largest arenas, culminating in a grand finale scheduled for May 27, 2026 at Nationals Park stadium in Washington, D.C.. Springsteen emphasizes in official statements that we live in "dark and dangerous times," but his music is meant to be a source of hope and resilience for citizens. Tickets for the upcoming events will go on sale in the coming days, and media interest is fueled by earlier schedule leaks that circulated online before the official tour presentation. „We live in dark, troubling, and dangerous times, but do not despair – the frame is music that carries hope.” — Bruce Springsteen20 — concerts are planned as part of the new US tourThe tour marks the artist's return to concert activity less than a year after the conclusion of his previous performances in Europe. Music industry specialists predict that, due to its strong ideological charge, the concerts could become an important element of American public debate. Organizers anticipate that most tickets will sell out in record time, given the singer's iconic status and the rare configuration of stadium performances concluding the tour in the nation's capital.
