Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Announce 2026 US Tour 'In Celebration And In Defense Of America'
Bruce Springsteen has been vocal about his anti-ICE stance in recent months, telling them to "get the fuck out of Minneapolis" at Asbury Park's Light Of Day WinterFest, releasing an anti-ICE protest song called "Streets Of Minneapolis," and performing it at Tom Morello's benefit in that city. Now, he's announcing a tour "in celebration and in defense of America," and it'll kick off in Minneapolis.
The 20-show run will take the band to various cities across the United States, with dates in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, and more. The tour is set to begin on March 31, 2026, and will run through May 15, 2026.
The tour's title, "In Celebration And In Defense Of America," reflects Springsteen's commitment to social justice and his desire to use his platform to raise awareness about important issues. The tour will feature a mix of old and new songs, including some of Springsteen's most iconic hits and some new material from his upcoming album.
Springsteen has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration's immigration policies, and has used his music as a way to speak out against injustice. His anti-ICE protest song, "Streets Of Minneapolis," has become an anthem for the movement, and his performance at Tom Morello's benefit helped to raise awareness and funds for the cause.
The tour is expected to be a major event, with fans and critics alike eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see Springsteen and The E Street Band perform live. With its mix of old and new songs, social justice themes, and Springsteen's signature energy, this tour is sure to be one of the most highly anticipated events of the year.
