US EditionSpringsteen Launching ‘Political and Very Topical’ Tour in Minneapolis
Springsteen opened the 20-date tour with a nearly three-hour set that included a new protest song and repeated chants against ICE.
- Bruce Springsteen kicked off his Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour on Tuesday, March 31, at Minneapolis' Target Center, using the stage to denounce the Trump administration and its immigration enforcement policies.

- On Thursday, President Donald Trump attacked Springsteen on Truth Social, calling him a "dried up prune" and urging supporters to boycott the tour, intensifying their long-running feud.
- Springsteen will continue through Portland and Los Angeles before concluding May 27 in Washington, D.C., where he said he'll deliver "choice words for the White House," positioning the tour finale at the nation's capital.
