Bruce Springsteen unveils spring U.S. ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ tour, stops in Boston May 24
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band announced a spring U. S. run that will take the group from Minneapolis to Washington, D. C., with a stop at Boston’s TD Garden on Sunday, May 24. The 20-date itinerary blends arena dates and a final outdoor night, promising politically charged performances and new material alongside classic anthems.
Routing, dates and ticketing
The Land of Hope and Dreams American tour opens March 31 in Minneapolis and concludes May 27 with an outdoor show at Nationals Park in Washington, D. C. The spring run is slated to include mostly arena performances, with a single stadium night to close the sequence. Regional stops include a hometown-area appearance at Prudential Center on April 20 and multiple New York-area shows in early to mid May.
Tickets for the Boston concert will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 21 at 12: 00 p. m. ET. Fans should watch Springsteen’s official channels for full ticketing details and further on-sale dates for other stops on the itinerary.
Political edge and new protest material
Springsteen framed the tour in unmistakably political terms, saying the shows will be “in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream. ” He invited listeners of all viewpoints to attend, casting the tour as both a rallying cry and a call to civic engagement.
The announcement follows a summer of European dates in which Springsteen used his stage to criticize the current administration and to urge audiences to stand up for democratic norms. He also debuted a protest song that speaks directly to recent unrest in Minneapolis, where the singer decried the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents. That track, performed in surprise appearances earlier this year, is expected to appear in set lists alongside politically charged staples such as “Long Walk Home” and “Rainmaker. ”
What fans can expect
Beyond the explicit political messaging, the spring shows are likely to follow the muscular, narrative-driven format Springsteen has favored in recent years: extended sets blending recent work, rarities and audience favorites delivered with the full force of the E Street Band. If the set mirrors the European leg, concertgoers should expect stirring introductions, extended instrumental passages and moments of direct address from Springsteen to the crowd.
Springsteen, who remains a central figure in American rock at 76, has navigated health-related postponements in the recent past. His return to a robust touring schedule signals renewed momentum for live appearances and raises the possibility that the arena run could be followed by additional stadium dates later in the season.
For now, the spring itinerary offers a compact, politically infused series of performances across the country. Fans in Boston and beyond will have their chance to see the E Street Band live beginning this spring, with on-sale windows opening at varying times throughout February and March.
